So, you've got the XML like -

<exits> N </exits>
and you have a XSL that works like a CSS?
descript {font:arial, align:center} exits style:bolder
Is that a good paraphrasing? How browser dependent would that be? Do most browsers support XML & XSL?
Yup, that'd be the idea. IIRC most browsers support XML and XSL. (not sure, I'll have to check)
PS
What's SAX DOM? I know what a DOM is, but what's the SAX? I saw it in my Python docs when I was poking XMLParser. If/when I work with XML, would you recommend Python's standard modules for it?
SAX is just another way of parsing XML. It's very sequential in nature, so it's not good if you need to re-access a previous node from the document, but since it doesn't load the entire document in memory (doesn't build a tree out of it), it uses less memory than DOM, and scales much better (obviously).
I haven't tried Python's XML parsers yet, but I understand Python supports both SAX and DOM, so it should be okay...
