I read somewhere that it was possible to chain xslt's together, so I thought it was worth a try to combine the Visio-to-BPMN transform and the BPMN validator into a single operation. And it worked! So now you can do Method and Style validation directly on diagrams created with the BPMN template in Visio Premium 2010. (You can still transform to BPMN 2.0 or XPDL xml if you want.) The updated page is still here. If you want to try it out, send me email and I will grant access.

What Is Method and Style?
While the various business modeling standards provide the foundational vocabulary and structures used for documenting and analyzing process diagrams (BPMN), decision models (DMN), and case management frameworks (CMMN), they do not offer specific methodologies for effective use. Method and Style fills this gap by introducing standardized techniques and rules that help practitioners present complex logic and flows in a way that is easy to understand and implement, enhancing both communication and precision in business analysis.
