("My first reaction is to ask why anyone an XML tool would want to use for non-XML-input..") The answer is that if it's simple structured data, XSLT is quite capable of handling it, and the other capabilities of XSLT (pattern matching, XML output generation, etc) might well make it the most suitable tool. But if you're writing a parser for a recursive language, then despite Dimitre's herculean efforts to demonstrate that it *can* be done in XSLT, I would agree that probably it *should not* be done in XSLT, but instead should be pre-processed into XML using some other language.
