Re: [xsl] Specification of a transform.

Which raises the issue, if a non XSLT programmer is specifying,
how might he/she do it, without those XSLT skills?

From http://www.mulberrytech.com/papers/MappingTransformations/slide009.html:

* Understand both source and target data
* Ability to articulate complex relationships
   - clear to programmer
   - clear to content-owner
* Strong analytical skills
* XSLT expertise is not required!

A subject matter expert who groks XML structures can be better for this
than a programmer who groks XSLT but not the data.


In my experience a subject matter expert able to articulate such a 
specification clearly will learn XSLT much faster than the average programmer 
coming from imperative languages.
