There are a couple. We plan to integrate FourThought's 4XSL with Zope.
Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately it only works on Unix, though.
I expect this will look like "XSL methods".
Well, how would you invoke them? It would be appropriate, say, to have a single folder's XML documents all point to one XSL style sheet. In fact, since the XSL style sheet of a document can be defined in the XML itself -- the syntax escapes me, but I believe it was an XML SI -- this information could be used for overriding the "default" XSL style sheet.
Also node that *all* Zope objects support DOM at some level as of Zope 2.0 beta 1.
Any examples of this?
So it will be possible to use DOM-aware tools (like 4XSL) with any Zope object. We used 4XSL to test out initial DOM integration.
