Here's a suggestion: what about for all the .xsl files on this page:

http://workgroupcluster.apple.com/xml-qstat/xsl/

you include a comment at the top to indicate what exact flags to 'qstat'
should be used to generate the XML output that the stylesheet is
expecting?  It's not immediately obvious from looking at the files....

(or maybe you're not ready for others to starting downloading/using
these stylesheets?)

BTW, have you tried letting a browser do the transformation?  IE, put a
line into the .xml file indicating which stylesheet to use, and then
feeding the XML file directly to a browser?  How does that work?

Thanks,
	Charu
