RE: XSL Stylesheet for Kannel's status.xml

I'd rather leave the XML as it is, too. as I understand it (not an XML expert) XSL is used to transform XML into an HTML compatible format so that browsers can display it ? then you might want to modify the HTML status output and not the XML one, or maybe add another option that will take the bare XML generated and transofrm it (as you said - shouldn't be too hard).

Currently what we use here, is a PHP script that reads the XML status, takes out the interesting parts, add some more information from other places and buttons to call commands on Kannel admin interface and displays it all on a browser. it would probably be more difficult to do so if the bare XML was modified for presentation before being sent to the client.

Well, its not that hard to implement; using the libxslt library that
partners libxml, you can apply a transform in about 3 statements.

Transformation on the client side works too, you need to modify the
status.xml document to associate the stylesheet with it, though.
Maybe there's another way without touching the XML document.
