Yes, my question is will XSLT work for a large scale project. I came up with
the idea during my work on RSS, when the tortured RDF syntax was causing
serious problems. Another, more complex example is this:
<content:content content:type="text/plain">some stuff</content:content>
which would need to be XSLTed into:
<content:content>
<rdf:Description>
<content:format>text/plain</content:format>
<rdf:value>
some stuff
</rdf:value>
</rdf:Description>
</content:content>
RSS is a well-adopted spec, would such XSLTing be acceptable for RDF
support?
