A key benefit of XML is that stylesheets allow the mapping of a security policy in the XMLSPIF format into a variety of different formats. These could be other XML schema instance documents, .ini files settings, Windows Registry settings (in a .reg file) or other proprietary configuration formats.
Xmlspif.org publishes a number of stylesheets that may be openly used and modified. Xmlspif.org encourages supporters to supply additional stylesheets for publication. Only openly distributable and modifiable stylesheets will be published here.
