Re:  Where is XML going

Personally, I'd like to see an inline <transform> tag in HTML5:

<transform 
    stylesheet="xs:anyURI
    data="xs:anyURI
    type="mime-type" 
    refresh="timeInterval
    asynch="xs:boolean"
    media="xs:NMTokens" 
    id="xs:ID">
      Default Internal Content
</transform> 

This would be a display tag that would load the data either from a server or from a block of XML in the client, then would apply they associated stylesheet to that data in order to provide output that would replace the current child content.

I've been thinking about doing something like this as an alternative to having to invoke a transformation using Javascript. The main drawback seems to be that it's hard to parameterize it, that is, to make anything dependent on data content or user input.
