Actually, XSL is a natural fit for C++ devs IMHO.
It's both functional (so easy for template meta-programmers), and procedural (so easy for imperative language programmers).
Just read and invest time with the XPath and XSLT books from Dr Kay, and you're good to go :) Preferably 2.0 (this made me notice there's a new 3.0 just out !)
I think learning XPath/XSLT made me a better programmer even, broadening my CompSci horizons. Completely OT and FWIW, but I just couldn't resist. :) --DD
Hmmm sounds like you're volunteering to spend time with this. Am I correct? Robert Ramey
