Is it correct?
If you want 40 different kinds of output, then you need 40 XSLTs. You could probably make just a few and parametrize them. If you want just a few output formats, you can have intermediate adaptor stylesheets converting a common XML 'searchresults' format. > Is there any guideline that can help us creating a standard for these > typical applications? What standards should be obeyed by (for example) a > typical search result page? RDF is nice and generic. I've used DSML (LDAP searchresult XML format) before. Also, you could reuse the Google search result XML format.
