Y'know the sort of person that might want to do a transformation but
doesn't use XSLT enough to think that if it is a primary vehicle for
basic communication.
I learnt it probably eradicated from my code and have freed up the
brain cell for something more useful (yes I know I have a limited
supply - thats why I don't want to waste them).
The top tip when learning xslt is "dont guess, you will guess wrong".
It's not because the spec is wrong, far from it, it's a work of genius
- it's that the person guessing is wrong.
As I often say, and its impossible to say this without sounding really
patronising: everyone that properly understands xslt really likes it.
Only those people that don't understand it have issues with it.
