Jim,

Sorry to be so long replying: the answer to that one isn't easy!

But I guess now that it's running at Page Valet, what you see there
should be fairly stable.  The core elements
<sp:report>, <sp:element>, <sp:attribute>, <sp:message>
are pretty fundamental and represent a very natural structure,
and are here to stay, as is <valet:docinfo>.

If you want to build on it, let me know, and I'll give due notice of
any changes, so you can shout if they'd break anything.  Or if necessary
I'll do something like <http://valet.webthing.com/xslt/20011027.html>.
