I'm afraid I can't say, although I rather doubt it (the OASIS/CALS table 
model is altogether pretty fierce). I just lifted it, very gratefully, from 
Norm Walsh, on the assumption that most was better than none (and I had no 
basis to complain considering how much work he was sparing me). Basically 
all I did was reverse-engineer his efforts to the point where the module 
could be portable.

Since you seem to have worked it out in wd-xsl, I actually think you're in 
a better position than I am, at this point, to contribute to Norm's efforts 
if you find areas that still need work. (And if you do, please share: he did.)

Cheers,
Wendell
