>I just can't bring myself to believe that using XSLT to generate (X)HTML >from XML is necessary or useful in cases where mere decoration is all Yeah, I personally think that this makes a lot of sense. XSLT should be used for the structural content transformation (from XML to XML) and CSS for the presentation. There are fuzzy areas where CSS and XSLT overlap, however: for example, tables can be considered structural (that's my opinion), and so can things that insert content. And of course everyone uses XSLT to produce HTML, which is really mostly presentation. Things could be much cleaner than this. And BTW, the identity transform thing I described is just a hack that lets you pretend that there is widespread support for XML->XSLT->CSS in the browsers. I agree wholeheartedly it will be much better when we get the real deal, but I'm also not counting on that happening too quickly.
