This can be convenient, but I think it makes harder to understand >what the DSS actually does. Or we should call it 'digital signing and >other handy things'-service. The A->B "selection transform" wouldn't have to be a general purpose transform. It could just allow selection of a single XML element from one the Input Documents. But I agree with you that the client could do this work, if desired. So I don't see a compelling reason to support this. Trevor
