• Thread-topic: What the .... ? Referencing XSL stylesheets across domains

Security and convenience are a continuom. In today's internet connected world, one typically has to trade up some convenience if they want security. We are all witnesses to what happened when Microsoft leaned more towards convenience than security in our products. I'm quite glad that we've decided to shift to the other side and trade up convenience for more security. 
 
I'm sure many others agree.

	I've invented this great new language the other day, it only
	has four characters: °, o, 8 and .
	
	So now I would say:
	
	.oo88o°8o°°...°.8ooo
	
	and
	
	...oo8o8o°o°o8.o.o8.oo.8°°..
	
	and sometimes I'd even express myself thru
	ooo888°°°
	or, in very special cases, I'd say
	°°°888ooo
	
	I wrote a poem the other day:
	o..8.o.88.°°°.8.ooo.o88o°°°°
	..o8.8ooo8.oo8.ooo.8°8°8°8
	ooo..o.88o°8o°8o°8o°oo°°°°
	
	Beautiful, isn't it?
	
	Oh, you can't read this? I'm afraid the stylesheet that someone
	else did that translates this into english is considered harmful...
	Please understand! You must be protected, this evil stylesheet
	could:
	
	- Make you blind thru evil use of colors and contrast
	- Collapse the wave function so the probability of your
	desktop being different in the future is slightly increased.

	        I don't think you could say "it should treat XSLT processor the
	same way
	        as CSS" what with the possibility to create extensions functions
	that
	        use vbscript, javascript, can call com components etc.

	        MS downloads wd-xsl to Windows-XP for search. Not the same

	        somewhat related.
