in reply to General Transformation API

It is an interesting idea, and probably worth a try.

I envision it as a set of XML tag describes things like:

  • Steps
  • The original format for each step
  • The destination format for each step
  • The tool used for each step

And a set of programs interpret those tags and execute them.

I suggest you spend time to make the tags right, and their meanings of really clear. Do it right from the beginning.

    At the very least, for my own needs, I need a tool that can auto-detect namespaces and the stylesheets that can get them from a source format to a sink. The other transformation ideas may be desireable, but I haven't even sold myself on those.

    I may end up just doing the XML namespace bit and leave it at that and perhaps continue to hypothesize about the other until I get tired of the idea or come up with a clever solution.
