Roger, > I am exploring the idea of "do all application coding in the > XML languages." I don't know about doing everything in XSLT or XQuery, sometimes it isn't possible because perhaps you don't have the time to develop the library of functions you might need. That's not a problem with the language per se, but maybe shows there is still room for growth in the maturity of the technology. But minimizing the number of moving parts in a solution is always a good idea, if you can do it, because you have fewer things to break when changing the environment in which you're working, for example during version upgrades etc. When I began processing geographic (GML) data using XSLT a few years ago, I became convinced that the language had no 'impedance mismatch' with the data and thus set out to see if mapping applications could be accomplished. http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=198606 I've learned a lot, and my conclusion is that, yes indeed, they can, but I'm just one developer. With greater participation in the technology will come more advanced pre-built functionality (just look at languages like java and python for example). What's more, it's a public standard and hence could be a good choice to protect your investment in codifying your business logic. Besides, with a fantastic open-source processor available (thanks to Michael Kay), and lots of free or low-cost interactive developer tools available, the barriers to entry are very low.
