What good is an XSLT sample if you're no even showing the interactions with the XML input file and a DTD control. :-)
Here for you amusement: [link|http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/cus/shapes/bottles.html|99 Bottles in XSLT]
Guess while I'm on XSLT, had to impress my kids the other day when is showed that the OReilly Book XSLT Cookback has my name and web page mentioned in the footnotes for [link|http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/cus/shapes/xsl.html|xslt polymorphism] - one of them dang shape objects(I hope this only counts for a couple of seconds in my search for 15 minutes of fame). Oh, well, kids appear to be cynical and chalked it all off to a cheap parlor trick.
Speaking of shapes, had a person from INRIA email me today wanting to know where he could a shape example in another progranming language published in a repository. Figured we need intelligent programmers, so I recommended he post them here - we;ll see if he takes it up. Me, I am hopelessly lost in two languages SML & Unlambda. Probably means it will be years before the next one comes to fruition. :-)
Don't know Jim's plans are for the repository, since you're having issues with your isp. I don't really want to host it on mine - as its a mre personal thing for me. Perhaps we could put it in the tWIKI archive? That way Karsten has to keep it up and running. :-)
