Oh yes - it did! Thanks grand-master of the crystal ball!
I just don't understand why the tutorial I was trying to work from uses this
left and right (http://books.evc-cit.info/odbook/ch09.html) ...

Thanks for that as well! I was earlyier asking for an intuitive introduction
to all of this stuff and got pointed to the link above - which, as you
could tell by the result, didn't turn out intuitive enough for me ... Do
you have a pointer where elements and what's allowed in them is nicely
explained?

Wait - this applies to me writing an output filter - no? I'm writing an
input filter to OO only - so I can work with ConTeX and OO from one single
custom XML code base ... should be spiffy (if it ever get's done). I work
in an accademic environment where WORD rains supreme, but prefer the
typographic niceties a TeX derived system comes with. Was maintaining
parallel documents so far and intend to have that end ...

Thanks for your help - I'm sure there'll be more questions to come!

One more thing: I find it MAJORLY inconvenient to have OO crash (freeze) on
you every time you break your *.xsl ... shouldn't that be handled more
gracefully? Where would I complain about that?

Thanks again, Joh
