Thanks for your post, just to query one part:
And having multiple smaller files helps collaboration
Why do you think mutiple smaller files helps collaboration?
Because that way you have have one small file locked by programmer A in
the version control system and another small file locked by programmer B
in the version control system.
Which version control do you use.. is it SourceSafe? :) No vcs
locks files any more...
XSLT is not all that good at being used in large, multi-programmer
projects;
That's just not true, there's nothing different or special about xslt
than any other language used in a large project.
there's little-to-no automerge support for version control,
Again not true... what makes you say that?
and various processors throw warnings at you if you have a file included
in more than one place (as you want to do if you're defining a bunch of
utility functions in a big mass of XSLT code.)
Can you post an example?
But having things being
broken out into smaller files on some logical grounds -- semantic
groupings of target elements, say -- certainly helps.
Agreed.
