I don't remember any mention of XSL. Development team to confirm. Obviously, what it produces can be manipulated by agents that do. Amaya has a transformation language. It would be interesting to see if the interface used to handle that could be used to apply XSLT transformations, since it is easier to find XSLT transformations for specific tasks, including some quite complex ones. (e.g. converting an HTML table of data to an SVG graph, which would be a good use case). [snip] [DJW:] By definition, pure XHTML documents cannot include other namespaces. I suspect, however that Amaya can mix namespaces (it can certainly mix in MathML), and therefore create multi-namespace documents, not just XHTML namespace ones. Hmm. This depends on what you mean by pure XHTML. If you rely on DTD validity, then this is correct, but the Namespaces in XML recommendation provides a way to mix different XML namespaces in a document. There are some tools that understand this - Amaya handles a selected set of namespaces, and a number of RDF tools can manipulate the RDF information mixed into an XML document using namespaces. XSLT tools also support mixed-namespace documents (XSLT itself relies on mixed-namespaces). cheers Charles McCN
