Play Ball! ... with SVG and XSLT
This is a case study of how I apply XSLT to SVG XML input in the creation and production of a playable dice and pegs game I am using to teach the basic rules of Major League Baseball to my grandchildren. The techniques developed can be applied wherever SVG layers need to be shared and re-used. The stylesheets and complete board game results are freely available on the Crane Softwrights GitHub account for anyone to use and to play. Questions regarding the rules of baseball are welcomed, but such answers are limited to the knowledge of just one enthusiastic fair-weather fan.

Ask him about baseball, XML/XSLT, or OASIS UBL and he will talk your ear off.
