I understand where your coming from, however, since things
like XSLT came along I can really see the use for them and
I think they are pretty cool idea (maybe that puts me in the
minority). I used to work a lot in SGML and it was always a
problem when merging data, you would end up with "myp",
"yourp" and "theothersp". However, I think there should be
some way to clarify external entities as well...
&xsl:stdtemplates; ... :-)
