OK - I understand you're saying that one may want MORE than XSLT, even
though XSLT is useful. I can see that, therefore, a project might want to
use XSLT AND something else. Thisis helpful,as I had prevously thought of
(exclusive) OR.

However, I  am also looking for ideas of what such a project might
actually be. If we had DefMP, we could consider a tool that mapped into
subsets ofCds, using DefMP to remove symbols that weren't understood.
