RE: Difference between XSL and XSLT

I'll stick my neck out.

As you say, XSLT is a subset of XSL, the other part is XSL-FO. Together they comprise XSL. The simple answer to "... what [is] the difference between XSLT and XSL
is, or why we should use the one over the other ...", is, the difference between XSLT and XSL is that XSLT is one of the two parts of XSL. Your audience can't use one over the other. XSL isn't anything you can use. You can use it's constituent parts.

You can't use paint instead of latex paint. Just plain "paint" doesn't exist. It's latex, or oil-based, or whatever, but there isn't anything that's just "paint".

Subject:   Difference between XSL and XSLT

Hello,

I am having a presentation on Monday about XML, XSLT and XSD.  I am
wondering what if they ask me what the difference between XSLT and XSL
is, or why we should use the one over the other...I didn't know how to
respond.

I know XSLT is a subset o XSL.  But still a bit confusing to explain why
to use XSLT rather than XSL or vice versa...

Any comment?
Thanks
Houman
