Rob,

I've done my company's webside full client side xslt (about 4 years
ago, still functioning). Worked rather well. You can check 
www.diderottrack.nl
. As I recall there is a page on "this website" with references to
stylesheets, xslt and css. Possibly some functions (displaying hidden
text)  are a bit off, but that's a javascript issue, nothing to do
with xslt.
The build-in language switch relies solely on xslt.

View source to see the xml used.

Key is design, you have to know exactly what display / filtering /
functions you need at what time pr position. But that's not really
specific for using client side xslt, it's key for websites.


Met vriendelijk groet,

Thank you and Alain for your links. Perhaps the only thing I have to
fear is fear itself (I just made that up) and quit reading the
complainers and start coding.

I think client side XSLT was dreamt up the same time as XLink and
XPointer... and it's going to follow those into history as
probably-made-sense-at-the-time but in practice and with hindsight we
can see their failings now.  (search xsl.markmail.org for many posts)

If you really do want to go down that route, start coding now, then
towards the end of the project you might be one of "the complainers"
too :)
