RE: how does it fit in with the web

I am using XML and XSL for passing intelligent messages between distributed
objects and E-Commerce systems on the web.

For example, with initiatives like BizTalk, RosettaNet etc... we can use XML
to desribed business processes such as Purchase Order exchange or Product
Price requests. In this case, XSL can be used for translation between
different XML schema's. Equally, you can use XML to 'talk' amoung
distributed objects in a language and platform neutral manner.

Equally, you can use XML/XSL to allow users to get different views of
information presented to them rather than the current HTML methods. For
example, you may use an XSL stylesheet to customise the parts of a technical
document on the web tha a user sees depensing on his or her department.

There are loads of ways that the XML family will impact the web - I'm sure
others will have other kinds things they are doing as well.

Cheers,
Steven
