Thanks for the pointer, Owen!

Another comment targeted @ the OP: IMO XSL transformations should be
done on the server side, not on the client side. Doing it on the client
side may be OK if you have a very specific user base and you can be sure
that their clients support XSLT. If you target a more general audience,
you'll propably exclude some potential users because their clients won't
apply the stylesheet. For example, my konqueror doesn't - and since
AFAIR Safari is based on the same foundation as konqueror, it propably
won't either.
