Re: [xsl] XML to FrameMaker MIF via XSLT

[Wendell Piez <wapiez at mulberrytech dot com>]

This is a good idea, much like the thing IBM had for a while (maybe still 
do), TeXML, that did the same thing for TeX. The TeXML (which you could 
naturally create with a transform) was picked up by some Java to create the 
TeX.

Cheers,
Wendell
