XSL is basically the means by which XML talks to other apps.

Microsoft does not support XSL. Well, OK, it (sort of) supports a draft that
is nearly a year old. XSL has changed almost beyond recognition in the
meantime.

For good XSL support, try the following:

XT (http:www.jclark.com) and follow the XML/ XSL links to XT. This has
support for the latest (October) release of XSLT.

IBM AlphaWorks (inc. LotusXSL). (http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com) and follow
the links for the XML tools.

And so on and so forth - there are lots of tools available that are more up
to date than Microsoft - the XSLinfo site has lots more. Apparently MS are
going to release a new version fairly soon, but there has been no word on a
date yet. Perhaps they are too busy releasing Win2k.
