[ubl-lcsc] Stylesheets delivered to Lisa; interesting image attached

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Hi folks,

I've just delivered the latest stylesheet library to Lisa for inclusion on 
the UBL web site.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find an appropriate home in the package for the 
attached image, but I thought the image would be of mild interest to the group.

In Lisa's package is a JAR version of Crane's UBL stylesheet library's XSLT 
stylesheets.  The JAR was created by "Gregor", the XSLT compiler that reads 
W3C compliant XSLT stylesheets and bundles in a processor and supplemental 
requirements (invocation, etc.).  The founder of Ambrosoft 
http://www.ambrosoft.com Jacek Ambroziak, was very generous to donate his 
time and technology to this project to create the standalone Java 
implementation of Crane's stylesheets.

The biggest design goal of Gregor is to run small and fast everywhere from 
servers to small platforms such as handheld devices, though this UBL 
project illustrates the use of Gregor to create standalone XSLT stylesheet 
environments: a single indivisible JAR with 23 embedded stylesheets invoked 
by the stylesheet name.

This means that a user can perform the transformations using their local 
Java environment and the JAR without having to obtain an outboard XSLT 
processor.

Mixing these benefits provided by Gregor, you also get all these 
stylesheets on a handheld, and the attached image shows the Zaurus 
Linux-based handheld displaying our sample UBL Order instance through our 
220 Order stylesheet producing HTML:  the UBL processing is happening *on* 
the handheld, not just viewing the results processed elsewhere.

This JAR will be part of the 0p70 directory when Lisa unpacks my latest 
delivery, and we'll have another one with the release-time stylesheets on 
Wednesday.

I hope you find this image interesting.

................... Ken
