Nobody said you should wait two or three years. I said that between now and two or three years from now, you should (perhaps) do your ad hoc manipulations either on the INPUT to XSL or the OUTPUT of XSL instead of *IN* XSL. But I'm not trying to stop you from doing them. The standards to allow you to manipulate the input and output of XSL are 95% in place: ECMAScript and the DOM. BTW, if you get conversion to braille working as an XSL post-process, then you can plug your post-process onto the back of any XSL spec and open up the web to Braille. On the other hand, if you embed it in particular stylesheets, then only a small fraction of the web will be available in Braille.
