Oh yea! I completely agree that Embedded SQL in C was a nightmare of a language. And in general, I prefer component based mechanisms through a clean API abstrction layer instead -- which is what I feel is needed with XSLT (and you mention this below). > The basic problem of embedding a language into another is the mixing > of instructions with different scopes... Neat point. I've never thought of it that way! > To come back to to XSLT embedding XSLT within a general purpose language > would be as bad an idea as embedding the general language within XSLT Well, I personally agree with this, but I didn't want to preclude this as I know there are people out there that love embeding one language within another. I concede that the first point was poorly worded. I was trying to say "just don't embedd X language in XSL", not "please embeed XSL in language X". My bad. Perhaps this should be listed as another 'bug in the proposal. Clark XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
