Re: XSLT Template allowing separation of data from XSLT presentation

Hi James, 

you got a point although I think that my approach makes sense for that
particular document. You realize that the XSLT gets rather complicated.
For a normal use-case, of course, your approach makes much more sense
and is also the approach I would use. So I think it would be best if we
came up with some kind of "real-world" example, an invoice perhaps. I
have such a thing from a presentation on XSL-FO I did. I think I'll put
that in the distribution. What do you think?
