| Maturing, source-code available implementations of CLASS exist right | now. Can you say the same about DSSSL (lite) or other SGML-style | proposed systems? I will be demonstrating an alpha copy of a dsssl-o application at the DSSSL workshop to be held as part of the GCA "SGML & The Web" Conference in Seattle August 22-23. The engine currently supports the emerging consensus view of dsssl-o, which includes everything in the December application profile [1] plus lambda, #!key, and let (including letrec, let*, and named let). A sample stylesheet that this engine can use to turn an HTML 3.2 document into RTF can be found at [2]; this has been tested under both Windows95 and Solaris 2.5 compilations of the program. Source code for this application will accompany its final release. Also, a completely independent effort partially funded by SunSoft to build a public-domain syntax checker for the entire DSSSL language (including both the transformation language and the style language) is currently in alpha test, and a formal beta is expected soon.
