This is more or less correct. XSL cannot implement the architectural form mechanism, but I believe that anything you would want to do with archforms could also be done with XSL -- for a particular DTD/archform pair. It would be nice if an XSL stylesheet *could* do XAF-level generic architectural form processing. Note, however, that architectural forms are completely declarative and can be implemented in a highly optimized fashion. The sorts of extensions that Microsoft has proposed for XSL (<xsl:eval>...</>) would completely destroy those features. Architectural mapping would, in general, be as reliable and high performance as ordinary software -- (not at all).
