huh?
I would think that its usage and adoption is directly related to the
amount of data encoded in XML...which grows daily.
from a personal perspective I XSLT find myself doing much less XSLT
these days...but thats because others now know how to do it (including
designers, etc).
.you can tell your friends that there probably won't be an XSLT 3.0
but that XSLT 1 and XSLT 2 will be around for a minimum of 5 years and
I would bet on 7 years, with the tailing off from there....by then
*****ahem*****we will then have a fully semantic web; by then we will
be 'farming code' (my fav meme of 2006) from the web.

Well, in a recent conversation about technologies, one of them goes
for the kill and throws out this doozy:
I can just sum it up for you:
<xsl:apply-templates select="DeadTechnology" />
So, is XSLT dead? I guess to put things into context a bit; does the
rule which MS has over so many developers, the drag and drop GUI
designer and ready made solutions in a box, does this suggest that
XSLT is a dying technology?
