So, I polished up my diary.xsl stylesheet a bit, and thought I'd share it with the world. (with accompanying xml file for month names)
if you add the following to the top of your downloaded xml advogato diary, you can get mozilla to present it to you as html.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="diary.xsl"?>
(and thanks to kirillov for reminding me I had a diary.xsl :)
