No, it reads that a decl_def is an import or a class_decl_def or a ...

I sort of made it up <g>, but it is like how most people do it in language specs. I don't have any handy references.

I use the Opera 5.0 browser which, I beleive is very standards-compliant
and quite recent.
d.xsl and xhtml.xsl produce identical pages -- "if (){}else{}()"
elsif.xml produces a blank page.
viewer.htm produces a selection box which doesn't seem to do anything.
What is this address that goes in the edit field?

You'll need a browser like IE which supports viewing XML files directly to see the XSL files (they are really just another type of XML file).  In any case, I've tweaked things so that you no longer need to use the "viewer.htm" page: http://jdanielsmith.org/DML

The edit field should contain the address of the xml file to transform,
elseif.xml in this case. In the selection box you should choose wheter
to transform to D (using d.xsl) or to HTML (using xhtml.xsl).
When you press the button you should see the resulting file in your
browser.

Also, if your browser can't load the MSXML2 objects to do the XSLT transform, I redirect to a page on the server to do the transform.  This should make the samples much more viewable (you'll still need JavaScript though).

Tried that page, and nothing seemed to make any sense. Most links
produced: "The value of the 'method' attribute may not be 'html'."
or: "The value of the 'method' attribute may not be 'text'."
 I'll just have to wait unil I switch to IE (a long time).
