Excellent, duly noted. Since I found out that these were the default
XSL transforms, I set about to create a ... more aesthetically
pleasing alternative. :-)

        http://dysart.cs.byu.edu/svn/cs628/code/

I'm working with people on an XSL list to debug a problem with
transforming the path into a series of links. Once that's complete,
I'd be happy to submit this as a patch. What are general opinions
about what I have so far? (Please compare to http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/
  or another similar page.)

By the way, can someone explain what exactly the repository's basename
is, and how it is to be used? (By all means, feel free to direct me to
an earlier thread, as I have a feeling this may have been discussed
previously.)

Thanks,
