Re: NVDL v. XProc or XProc & NVDL?

Perfect! I've found your talk and the code you mentioned:

http://archive.xmlprague.cz/2012/presentations/Understanding_NVDL.pdf
http://onvdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/onvdl/trunk/xslt/

I'll pass on the information to my friend and keep this in my pocket for
the next time I need it.

Thanks,
David
