The idea is to apply the stylesheet transformations specified by
an XSL document to everything below a node (possibly the root)
of another XML document. For now it looks like the only XSLT
transformer in perl is at:
http://www.sci.kun.nl/sigma/Persoonlijk/egonw/xslt/
There are some samples of the kinds of things you can do at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/samples/internet/xml/multiple_views/default.asp
although they are somewhat MicroSoft-centric in that they apply the
transformation inside the browser (and only work with IE). What we
need is the ability to detect the browser type and render to
HTML on the server if the browser can't do it. The only things
I've seen so far that can do this besides IIS have been in Java.
