Hi, I'm now in the group that produces XTF, and for XTF4.0, I'm thinking about updating the EAD XSLT based on the Online Archive of California's stylesheets.
For our EAD samples that we distribute with the XTF tutorial, we are using 6 EAD files from the library of congress (which presumably are public domain). I'd like to start of a collection of pathological EAD examples that we have the rights to redistribute with the XTF tutorials and to use for testing. Anticipating that potential contributors might not want to release their actual records for inclusion in an open source project; I hacked a little script to systematically change names and nouns to pig latin https://gist.github.com/1429538 Here is a sample run; Input: (from http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt3580374v/ ) The NASA Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on January 28, 1986 when Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. Disintegration of the entire vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster failed at liftoff. The disaster resulted in the formation of the Rogers Commission, a special commission appointed by United States President Ronald Reagan to investigate the accident. The Presidential Commission found that NASA's organizational culture and decision-making processes had been a key contributing factor to the accident. NASA managers had known that contractor Morton Thiokol's design of the solid rocket boosters contained a potentially catastrophic flaw in the O-rings, but they failed to address it properly. They also disregarded warnings from engineers about the dangers of launching posed by the low temperatures of that morning. output: The Nasaay Acespay Uttleshay Allengerchay isasterday occurred on Anuaryjay 28, 1986 when Acespay Uttleshay Allengerchay okebray apartway 73 econdsays into its flight, leading to the eathdays of its seven ewcray embermays.

Is this totally silly? Is there something besides pig latin that I could transform the words to? Any obvious ways I could improve the python?
