Converting Crystal Reports 8.5 XML output to RDL....

All--

We have several dozen Crystal (8.5) Reports that we would like to port to SSRS 2005. I believe that I can save these reports as XML data files with an accompanying schema. We are not interested in the data, but would like to be able to preserve the reports' layout from one reporting platform to another. I believe I might be able to write an XSLT transformation to convert the Crystal XML output into RDL, but this is not a trivial task. (We would like to avoid, at all costs, manually redesigning the reports in SSRS, but, if it comes to that, we will have to bite the bullet.) Has such an XSLT transformation already been created, and, if so, would anyone care to share their work?

TIA,
