binding the XSLT specification gives you a way to generate XSL
documents. the old, experimental code generated ECS bound to a schema or
DTD in a similar fashion.

Okay. I thought that was maybe the way you were going (if I understand what you are saying correctly - generate code from the w3.org XSL spec). I was just looking at the spec and thinking that - but I think it is a bit beyond me to do that at this point - I vaguely grok XML/XSL/etc., much less language grammars not being a CompSci person (I am just a lowly Code Monkey).

Anyway, it just occurred to me that my XSL is so simple and mostly static, that I can use another XSLT to generate it from the XML config file. I only need to be able to change two small portions of it; one element needs it's name changeable, and one set of elements/ transforms need to be added for each element in the config file. The transforms are the same for each element so I can just do a for-each on each one. I am sure there is a yet more elegant way to do it, but this will work well enough and it won't be reused except by the customer.

Thanks
