2008/6/6 Robert Koberg <rob@xxxxxxxxxx>:I was kind of joking with Andrew (perhaps my smiley was not enough to indicate that). Andrew wants a way to use XSL files like some folk use JSP or PHP (or in the case of eXist and others, XQuery). I don't think it is a good idea from a memory (as Michael Kay reaffirmed in his post on this thread) and functionality standpoint.
Just think about the case of people insisting to generate CSV via, of all tools, XSLT. While I do not doubt it can be done I wonder if it's worth the effort when the solution is already at hand in the form of your preferred general-purpose programming language. Standalone schema-aware transforms, generating strict xhtml by transforming xml returned from various queries (where the xslt, xml, and xquery are all stored in the same database) could well be the most common use of 2.0 in the future. Storing the XSLT in the database? Michael Ludwig
