Everybody knows about that idea since XSLT exists.

Even Microsoft has prior art on that with their XSL ISAPI Extension since
at least end of 1999 and they had several other demos covering exactly 
that kind of idea.

Look at this description from January 2000:
    http://www.xml.com/pub/r/652

It sure matches a lot that silly patent text.


Well, SUN is bound to have a big fat obstacle enforcing this one.


Have fun,
