In fact, DSSSL existed far long before XSL was created. It was the same for SGML
as XSL for XML. Latter (XML), as we know, just simplified idea of SGML. SGML
can more than XML but it was very hard to write application that had complete SGML
support. Historically, situation was very similar to that with X.500 and LDAP,
but that's another story, unrelated to PHP-GTK :-)
