Hi Mate,

Is there a way to get the code that is compiled from the stylesheet as
I think that would be the next logical step in terms of looking at the
differences between the two and looking at optimisation paths.

Does anyone know of any optimisation rules etc that have been designed
for XSLT with the .NET 2 class? If anyone from the XML team is reading
this - what design descisions have you taken on the compilation stage
of the XSL?

Cheers
