I already tried this route, unsing Jirka Kosek's profiling stylesheet. It was because that was such a serious pain in the butt that I started tool-building. "Let's do everything in XSLT" makes a nice theory but it falls down hard in practice. The first serious stylesheet hack I tried ran smack bang into an XSLT limit that shouldn't have been there. > I don't use Emacs, but I don't see why you couldn't make it execute > a wrapper shell around the XSLt processor instead of running the processor > directly. xmlto provides such a wrapper shell. I'm digging into my references an shell to see if there is a way to redirect the standard error of a process without stepping on stdout. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
