Hi Jason,

To answer to your questions:

1 & 2. Yes, in order to display news items (or collections of news items) on web
pages, we are usually using XSLT from NewsML1 to XHTML (or HTML).
We even provide to AFP customers (on demand) a simple XSLT toolkit to do so. We
also alternatively provide a simple Java app that stores the content of news
items in a RDBMS (therefore HTML can be generated via ASP/JSP/PHP pages). But
most NewsML users develop their own receiver application.
Be careful that real life NewsML implementation vary from providers to
providers.

3. The best guideline is without contest the NewsML guidelines at:
www.newsml.org/IPTC/NewsML/1.2/documentation/NewsML_1.2-doc-Guidelines_1.00.pdf
but you could also read my old NewsML for dummies still at:
http://xml.coverpages.org/NewsMLForDummies.pdf

Re applications, Reuters has created a long time ago a Java toolkit on
SourceForge for their NewsML flavor.
