Hi Guy,

If you would have a tool with kind of events fired on pattern match like for
instance each time the <paragraph> </parapgraph> element is encoutered you
would have an event fired and the corresponding event handler called. Would
that be an interessting tool?

I am trying to discover what would be a useful tool for Web developers
independant of any religion :-) and independant of any ideology like purity
of concept. Only a pragmatic approach.

So the tool would do pattern match and for each element would fire an event
and the corresponding event handler called. the event handler could be
written with a script language such as: EcmaScript, VBScript, PerlScript,
PythonScript. The event handler would receive an object (i.e. a flow object)
having a property set attached to it. The event handler could either use the
property set a set values (including the object's type). Then the scrip
would be able to set the kind of displayed object by setting the object's
type and the parameters associated to this kind of object.

If you got that, is it something interesting? Is it better than current ASP
(because of the pattern match and event firing)?

A different point of view worth a thousand point of IQ

Sorry, you're quite right. I made the mistake of confusing the reality of
the Web development industry with a bit of cosy ivory tower
research. Pardon me for being a Web designer and thinking the W3C might be
actualy catering to my needs :)

In fairness I should have narrowed the scope of my comment and said that if
XML/XSL can provide an alternative to 90% of ASP as
used for tranforming data into mark-up, I don't see the point in it. In
short if XML/XSL doen't provide a better solution than existing solutions
why bother?

But I guess it could be said the XSL WG isn't chartered to produce a better
solution than existing solutions :)

Cheers
     Guy.

The XSL WG isn't chartered to produce a replacement for ASP.  It's
chartered to produce a stylesheet language for XML.
