I thought it had a rather diferent reputation, being easily the most successful of the W3C specified languages post XML, and one of the more widely distributed programming languages ever. > If I were in an IT department or company that hired various web page > design types, and we needed technology for transforming XML, I have to > say that I would guffaw at the idea of trying to train typical web > design people to use XSLT. Odd. I find most people pick up the basic template driven style of xslt fairly quickly, It is true that people with more programming experience find some bits different/strange but that's because they just try to program in fortran with xslt syntax which doesn't really work, however people who haven't got preconceived ideas about programming normally pick up the programming aspects of xslt naturally as well (that being the point of the functional programming style, that it's more natural) David .
