I believe G. Ken Holman (CTO, Crane Softwrights Ltd), relative to his article below
about XSL outlining capabilities, etc., lecture, and hands-on instruction capabilites
(http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/schedule.htm) can greatly help Doug and us expedite
the reverse-engineering of AUGMENT with open-source Java/XML.
What's the Big Deal with XSL?
http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/1999/04/holman/xsl.html
As a minimum, I'm hoping Doug and his OHS developers can prepare to collaborate with
Ken for resolving their programming dilemmas while he's in San Jose at the XML One
Conference (Doubletree Hotel) until end of 10/4/00. Otherwise, he won't be available
until Nov. after returning from business trips overseas.
If this is doable, then that's great. If not, then let's consider using his free class
notes, recommended XSL-List Archive, FAQ of Dave Pawson, and ZVON tutorials.
