No doubt there are valid criticisms of XSL in particular contexts. But what seems to be missing in these discussions are those contexts. Both CSS and XSL are useful and I really don't see a "competition" developing in the sense that only one will survive. While it may be true that XSL (or anything else, like Java for example) is getting a lot of hype for applications when other tools can be used, and may even be better options, that doesn't mean that XSL isn't the best option in particular situations. The important part of tool selection is choosing the right one for the right job. We choose to use Smalltalk for our main application development (a electronic medical record system) because its the best language for large application development and maintenance, and likewise we use XML, Java, CSS, XSL etc, etc when its the best tool for the job at hand. Explicitly we use CSS for HTML we display in a browser and we use XSL to transform XML into the HTML and CSS we display. Both tools are needed. -Regan KnowMed Systems xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
