My question is: why would anyone switch? I don't even see anything
that's
compelling enough to add to XSLT. Does anybody who's looked at it in
more
detail come to a different conclusion?
I think you'd probably only switch if you used SML.
The thing I found interesting is that there are a number of similar
languages out there, most of them I don't think give you anything that
xslt doesn't, obviously people use the other languages for some reason
in preference to xslt, what reasons can these be?
I was just basically looking for an entertaining thread to be spawned
along the lines of what transformation languages it would be cool to
emulate bits of.
