Re: Is letting the browser transform XML to XHTML using XSLT a good choi

Point well taken.  Please read my follow-up.  Unlike you, I have been 
around this area for a LONG time -- over the last year various book 
duties, and projects have kept me away -- but none-the-less XSLT is more 
or less my life and XSL-List has been a part of that for a long time.
With this in mind, these conversations will happen from time to time, 
but their rare.  The reason I took a personal interest in this 
originally is that this is one area in the world of XSLT that I have a 
fairly substantial base of personal experience and expertise, and as 
such felt there was an obvious need to make sure that there was a lot 
more too this than what had been brought to the surface, and having 
quite a bit of exposure and experience to other, non XSLT, but still 
XML-based langauges, its important for us all to have an understanding 
of all that is going on.  Some of us already do, some dont, so 
unfortunately that means info is being passed to some that already know it.
All of this said, again, see my last post, but also recognize that I 
have a personality you will either come to love or come to hate, but in 
the end it should be pretty apparent that this is all about building and 
promoting XSLT as a language.  Sometimes that can lead to "setting the 
record staright" posts.. this one in particular hit a sore spot for 
various reasons, something of which I have apologized for.
Welcome to Paradise! :D
