    This, I will /never/ forget. :^)

    Yes.

    The OP (Dana) was saying why use assembler when you could use a
    higher-level language. My point was that XSLT is not invariably
    easier that Java and SAX, not that XSLT was invariably more
    compliated. No is my point that it is more difficult to learn,
    but that it can be, it's not a user-friendly macro language.
