It is feasible, but a) XSL is still a moving target so you'll need to update your stylesheets when it changes and b) you'd better carefully test the performance of your XSL implementation. > Is anyone doing anything serious with XSL yet?

It will be safest to use XSL seriously when it becomes a W3C recommendation. > I follow the Extreme XML column on Sitebuilder and build upon the > examples there, but then I also tried using Java the week it was > released !! I find it a little scary how many people get their information on XML from Microsoft. Microsoft can't even implement XML correctly in their own products (i.e. Office 2000). They also do not differentiate between Microsoft "ideas" (like data islands and XML-Data) and W3C recommendations. I would suggest you use XML.COM or the OASIS site for a more realistic view of the state of the art in XML/XSL land. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco "Intel has a big bull's-eye on its forehead because everyone is gunning for it. But they have to be as nimble and aggressive as they were when they were a small company," Mr. Howe said. "It's easy to be nimble when you're a $5-billion company, it's a whole other thing when you're a $40-billion company." - http://www.globeandmail.ca/gam/ROB/19990217/RPENT.html XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
