these LED stair rails are great, but the designer's site is a flash monstrosity that wont let me view his portfolio. why do people think that's clever?

god i hate XSLT. is there honestly no way to say 'include this external HTML fragment at this point'? makes inserting a header into your document annoyingly difficult. but i persisted. probably quicker to hack mod_dav_svn than to mess around with SVNIndexXSLT. the part where you can't server sub locations from outside DAV also sucks.
