I think that it is worth noting that most of the people who are in the
"XSL camp" are people are thoroughly familiar with scripting languages.
The reverse is not true. We have tried both and found the XSL way to be
more convenient. There is no programming language that quite captures
XSL's optimized mix of "polymorphic dispatch", pattern matching and
convenient template description.
