This request is over 2 months old, but I think it's too good of an idea to just let die out in the archives. Surely someone must have the time and motivation to tackle this? XML security advisories would have a number of advantages, some of which are described below. This isn't much more than an hour or two of work. Can someone take a look at this to provide the security officers with a simple XSLT stylesheet and markup one of the recent security advisories in a well-formed XML file. - Murray On Sun, Jan 06, 2002 at 09:52:55PM -0600, Jacques A.
