Edge systems make it useful too. We can't force the other vendors to use our data dictionaries, so we transform on the fly. The more agency to agency work one does, the better XSLT looks, but you are right that ASP keeps on truckin' internally and externally where the communication is mostly one-way. Locally we've gone from a company where the CEO laughed at XML out loud to one that needs it more every day to stay abreast of an industry that has discovered that it cannot any longer do its job without cross-system, cross-agency integration. It's a gift to XML from the heart of Osama and MFs who kidnap children. Public safety increasingly depends on open standards. len -----Original Message----- From: Didier PH Martin [mailto:martind@n...] For a lot of developers, using a well known server side programming language is a lot easier and a more controlled environment than using XSLT. If the mass didn't moved its because there is no actual pain that would motivate them to move or that the actual tools are satisfying enough for the tasks to be accomplished. A kind of pain that could eventually motivate developers to use a content distribution architecture based on XSLT transformation is to be forced to publish the same to TV set top boxes and to PC screen. However, if HDTV monitors make it to the market, the resolution difference is minimal.
