Not really... the sad thing is when someone dismisses XSLT, or worse encourages others to dismiss it, long before they've had the "ah-haa" moment where the recursive-descent processing model clicks, or that the transform is tree to tree rather than string construction. I haven't met or read an article by someone yet that really knows XSLT well and doesn't like it. Prediction: XSLT will replace XQuery in XRX, or at least occupy the view layer (xform creation layer) with XQuery purely at the service layer. URLs will map directly to stylesheets, which will run using a standard named template as the entry point. I don't think that's too far away... -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/
