I agree with you, Daniel. It's not a black & white question.
It depends in many parameters.
For example, the use of xml/xslt could save a lot of traffic in the net if
your final HTML shows a large table - because the XML has only the pure data
used for every row, and the graphic representation of a row (which is usually
much larger than the pure data) is given once in XSLT, and not duplicated for
every row as in HTML...
b.t.w. as you mention that,
how would you instruct IE6 to cache certain files (say xslt)?
I made some play with HTTP header fields, but failed...

Well I am not too sure on that...
If by speed you mean internet bandwidth (hence file size), then maybe
depending on the situation serving a XML (with data only) + XSL (with
presentation instructions) might be better, especially if the template is
used often by other pages that would have cached the XSL.

Daniel

Performance wise you can't get much faster than feeding up a static html
file...

My lastest messages in this list has remembered me of this question. I
belive it may have already be discussed here, but could someone please
explain to me a little bit of the state of the art of the creation of
webpages?
I mean, specially regarding xml and xsl. Which is better (speedwise at
least): to publish an xml file to be rendered with an xsl or to
preprocess it and generate an html file to be used? I believe html is
faster, although not dynamic. But there is many ways to add dynamic code
to html. So wich is the way to go? Is the answer related to the size of
the page?
Also, if I were to preprocess my xml + xsl files, I could use as well
xslt 2.0, because I wouldn't need to worry about incompabilities.
thanks
