Hi. I think your point is certainly a major reason, as there aren't many user agents yes doing anything useful with FOs, so there really isn't any point using them. Also I think that simply alot of people are comming to XSL with existing implimentation goals and solutions, many of these being ASP or ASP-like. Certainly that is the case with me. I never liked doing large amounts or mark-up with ASP. I might just be slack but during the course of development the temptation was to move ever more away from a template and further into large scripted applications. At the end of develpment the danger was winding up with a large scripted app running on the server. IMHO script is not suited to this, so I am more than happy to embrace XSL. I'm just winding up a proof-of-concept application presenting the complete Bible in IE5b2, with special attention to linking and navigation. It invloves a fraction of the code doing it in ASP would have brought, and I personally feel is far easier to understand comming to it cold.

Instead most of them where more like templates like ASP or frontier5. Is it because Flow objects are too restrictive? Just curious to know. Comments?
