 It's good to hear from you again. At 09:03 AM 8/23/2006, you wrote: The future conference paper that I'd like to see (and present) is the one with lots of manager-friendly graphs relating schema complexity and XSLT complexity from a survey of real projects. If that existed, it would be easier to explain to your manager why a new stylesheet for a new, complex schema could take longer than a week to write. Maybe. Or maybe just convince him he understood, or give him a face-saving reason to take your word for it. But the graphs could be generated out of XSLT. It sounds like a fun talk. Badgering you from the floor, the wrinkle I'd complain about is that the complexity of the XSLT can't really be correlated directly to the complexity of the schema. A simple schema with complex and variable usage could require complex XSLT. A fairly complex schema whose usage is well-enforced and consistent might allow certain useful tasks to be done with simple XSLT. So the real-world relation of the schema to the dataset, as well as the nature of the task to be done, are both critical variables. Or? Cheers, Wendell
