Wiley's "XSL Essentials" has my favorite, concise list of XSLT

Darn it! Now, where're my socks? As I'm in the mood to darn things, I 
should start by darning something important, rather than darning all of 
these e-mail disclaimers which clog up my replies... Sheesh! I feel like 
Monk (an obsessive-complusive detective) having to delete the darn 
things from *my* replies all the time... :-)
