I maintain a program that does something complex based on a simple set of explicit commands. For example, if it were a painting robot (the truth is far more boring), you give it an XML file with elements like (angles swapped for brackets) [rectangle x="40" y="40" w="10" h="10" color="red"/] and it goes and paints it. I have some users that would like to write loops, functions, and keep variables -- but I don't want to write a state machine or interpreter. Is there some sort of language/specification that compiles a simple XML-type language into "flat" XML? [more inside]

[XML/XSLTFilter] 10.4.8 and Safari let me search an XML database, but they can't seem to display the results properly (they're just a jumbled mess). IE6 and IE7 on XP Pro have no problems handling the same search and the results are displayed in a nice table. I was able to look at some of the code and it looks like something with XML data islands and XSLT stylesheets may have something to do with OS X's problem rendering the results. [more inside]
