sorry, i searched the archive before, but i just did it again with wd-xsl
and it does give some results. but if this is coming up frequently then surely
it's crying out to be changed. the reason why i got in to some doubt is that
the uri for xslt i use contains "1999" which seems kinda old and on going to
the w3 site all the specs are in the dir w3.org/TR/xsl - which seems to be
the same place as WD-xsl.

thanks!
