I second Michele's remark. Not everyone who is conversant with the EAD DTD is also conversant with XSLT, so the need is there. Also, a clear definition of the differences between a DTD and a schema (and why the decision has been made to switch to the schema) would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Christine

Well, I know I had trouble the one time I tried it :)   And if the next version of EAD is released as a schema only, lots of people will need to do it so seems like a step by step guide would be helpful.

> Someday perhaps someone will write a nice concise guide for the EAD Help Pages that lays out the step-by-step process for switching your style sheets from DTD to schema, including troubleshooting of things like this...


Is it true then, that other people have had problems migrating their stylesheets as they move from DTD-based EAD files to schema-based ones?
