Perhaps an example that *requires* both XSL would satisfy the skeptics...perhaps not :-( Requires may be too strong, but I hate to think of doing the job without both tools. We are using XSL (thanks James for XT!) in a pipe-lined architecture to take "documents" from specifications to full-blown presentations that eventually end in either HTML or PDF (via FOP). There are at least three stages in the pipe-line and a fork depending on final rendering, which all run on a server under a JVM (with no JavaScript support). This is a large document that gets broken up into several pages in the HTML form. I don't see how we could use CSS+DOM in these stages. The final HTML is generated with CSS for presentation on browsers and at this point has lost most of its semantics. The PDF uses FOs and as far as I know isn't likely to be supported by any kind of CSS or DOM structure. My appologies if I missed the deeper meaning in all of this fussing over a semantic web.
