One thing to apply to this is that the GDP plans on moving to XML
using XSL in the near future - this may not be the case for the other
projects.

I have a feeling we will be able to do more with XSL in the long run
and it may be more than just a matter of simply applying style - so
the possibilities of the projects diverging are greater. Having said
that, we have always communicated well as we are bound by the common
thread of being writers so it is certainly a possibility.


Cheers,

Dave
