Rob,
Do you think it's so powerful per se to put at a side languages like Java, VB,
C++ or Cobol for Data Management, when most of the current data architectures
are RDB or VSAM?
Don't you think it should be better considered as a next step processing for
presentation purposes?
Claudio.

Subject: Re: [xsl] XSLT Architecture: Next Step
Now, from the msgs I see on the list I see that people pretend to use
XSLT for whatever they figure out (maybe also for cooking).
About 10% of the projects I have used xslt in have been for
presentation. XSLT, to me, has nothing to do with presentation per se. I
use it to take XML and change its form to whatever is needed.
I think there are 2 rather distinct forms of XML - data centric and
document centric - and XSLT can transform both kinds.
I think you would be doing yourself a disservice to think that XSLT is
somehow tied at the hip with presentation. It may have started that way,
but I am not sure that is the future of the language.
Cheers,
Rob
