Subject: Difficulties with the Refal System

Hello,
on my search for a more suitable language (than XSL) for the transformation
of XML documents I hit the Refal Web Site. I downloaded Refal-5 and did
some tests. It seems as if the result of the built-in function XMLParse
does not contain the XML attributes. Could please anyone who has experience
with this function tell me, whether my observation is correct? Is there a
possibility to get the attributes parsed into the result tree? I really
need them, because I have to process real documents (not only data) where
the attributes are used for the meta-information (for which attributes were
meant originally). Is there a different XML parser for Refal available? To
write the parser in Refal itself would probably lead to a not acceptable
performance.
I also tried to download Refal-6, but I'm always receiving error messages.
If the XML support in Refal-6 is more mature: is there an implementation
available?
Any hints are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
