Greetings
Some flamage (start of message) and one advice (end of the message). This is my anecdotical, highly opinionated take on XSLT:
ME : "Looks we have to adjust this another bit..." Basically, it looks like every time I fish out my XSLT, the task at hand is either:
Besides it appears to have a slew of limitations - just by looking at the mailing list, it appears that every tiny departure from the text book examples require some extension (Saxon is often mentioned). So I have long ceased to try to wrestle with XSLT. When CSS is not up to snuff I usually do (on Win32): On linux, you can get something similar from either the perl XML modules OR the Xerces-C module. AxKit has a thing that is called (I think) XpathScript, which does much what XSLT promises to do, but with much saner syntax and looks (IMHO). I have never used it, but it would probably be my choice after going straight to the DOM.
