Try Ux framework http://www.pault.com/Ux/index.html to see this and much 
more ( I especially like  <xsl:copy-of select ="document( '! ls | sort' )" > 
aready implemented with  XT.

Rgds.Paul.

PS. I'm undecipherable PaulT. Feel free to write me and I think that after / if 
you  browse the Ux help pages, you may be surprised. ;-)

PPS. Next 2 weeks I'll publish some more cool  stuff.

PPPS. It is *not* that easy to map UNIX processing model into XML, 
( for example Ux's  >> log.xml  could be called 'ugly hack' )  
but in principle I'm satisfied with the way it currently goes.
