Remember this is a meta-stylesheet, it's generating a stylesheet in which
$prefix will be replaced by an actual prefix.

All programs that manipulate programs are potentially baffling, and where
the source and target languages are the same the scope for confusion is
immense.

No kidding: I'm looking at the post again and even I'm not sure what the code is doing, or whether JP isn't correct.


Marcus, if what I suggested looks nice, but doesn't work, please post again with samples of input and desired output. :->

Cheers,
Wendell
