Oh, thank you so much! (=. I've been banging my head against a wall for 
a bit too long with this (I'd probably have noticed the latter bug 
myself at some point, though).

When I faced this problem in the first place I thought this was so 
general a problem that one would think someone might have solved it 
already. So I'm just asking if anyone else thinks that it would be worth 
it to make the stylesheet more complete, with functions and the rest ;) 
(and the vocabulary made less specific to our project) and/or publish 
the thing more visibly on the gcc-xml download page or similar?

Just a thought, the code is mostly not mine anyway (=.

Sincerely (and gratefully),
