in spite of my earlier statement i haven't got it working :( - 
misleading data. i'm going to take the question over to the xsl list as 
i think it's more appropriate.

the problem seems to be my understanding of <!NOTATION and the 
interaction with NDATA. it seems to me that one should reference the 
other, but there doesn't seem to be a way to say "this is a document, 
just get it" and "this is a script, please run it". (maybe this is an 
xml question)

it would be so cool for lots of data applications if this worked.

any final comments?
