Hi Chris, Just a followup. I read your most recent posts just a few minutes ago *after* posting the message below. Sorry about that - should have read back a bit.
Personally, I generate SVG using the MSXML DOM in VC++ 6.0. I created my own C++ based SVG API for generating my output. If you're using .Net it would be trivial to use the DOM methods to create elements, add attributes and append elements to others. I doubt XSLT is the right solution (though I do love using XSLT for everything). Just my two cents.
