Also, here is another question. Does anyone have any standards for designing XML for XSLT? This is going to be an issue in my company some time in the future as we XMLise our documentation. I know that it is good practice to group values eg:

<Ford>...</Ford>
<Holden>...</Holden>
<Toyota>...</Toyota>

is less preferred to

<Manufacturers>
 <Ford>...</Ford>
 <Holden>...</Holden>
 <Toyota>...</Toyota>
</Manufacturers>

Any other tips?

Cheers.

Personally I don't like the second style much either, what happens when you get a manufacturer that has an awkward name, Rolls Royce, for instance. Better to have <manufacturer name="Rolls Royce"/>.
Much easier to select appropriately as well.
