Simple use case Mike.
Something akin to saxon tokenise?
Use case.
database dump in csv style format.
Easy conversion to wf xml by line.
template match on line.
what I want then is to have the simple regex to tag up each field
with varying tags, to pick out the fields.
This is something we do monthly, pulling from an ancient database
for 4 media delivery.
Equally, csv from a spreadsheet would produce the same problems.
xslt for up-transforms! I like it.
