Really? Now we're getting somewhere. I know this is asking a lot, but I am far from an XSLT virtuoso... could someone do the XSLT? Here's what I'd like: given an XHTML2 instance, produce another one that keeps only DIV tags, H1-H8 elements, and hyperlinks (a) in the case that they're identified by HLink (b) in the case they're identified by XLink (for complex links I think you just need the parts with xlink:type attributes, but if that's wrong let's discuss it). I think the outcome of this exercise would be real useful in helping us understand the real practical operational differences between deploying HLink and XLink in the field. -Tim
