[XML-SIG] Functional interface to XML?

[Mike Olson]

We are currently working on an XSL processor that sits ontop of 4DOM which
inturn sites ontop of sax.  It does not fire events in the sax fashion,
but will return a DOM tree of formatting objects, when given a XML DOM
tree with xml-stylesheet processing instructions.

4XSL is currently in the pre-alpha versions, and we hope to have a beta
release in a couple of weeks.  If anyone is interested, I can tar up the
latest code and make it available.  Just let me know.
