Re: template matching.. display the data

Hi Marcus.

I understand you concerns, but XSL is not intended to address the needs of
database managers :)

It is intended to address the needs of those styling XML data.

The idea of imposing an XSL stylesheet from the XML sends shuders down my
spine.

Regardless of what the publisher wants/suggests/requires, there is no way
of
preventing users from doing stupid things. Is a user going to accept blame
for
corrupting a database by incorrectly interpreting elements? What if the
structure
of the data changes at the source but the owner of the stylesheets on the
client
side isn't made aware of the changes? Who's fault is it then?
