Although I accept that the inclusion of an <xsl:make-bacon-sarnie burnt-to-a-crisp="yes"/> instruction would make a lot of programmer's lives a lot more pleasant, it is clear to me that the functional nature of XSLT is highly unsuited to cooking, which requires procedural, contingent, and thread-based operations. This is true, but on the other hand XSLT (with appropriate extensions) might be very well suited for ordering dinner in a restaurant. <xsl:plate match="premier"> <xsl:apply-plates select="salad | pasta | $specials[@day=$today]"/> </xsl:plate> The details of how the food gets to the table could be left to the implementation.
