Hi I work for Tesco.com. We make extensive use of XSLT on all our websites, some of them are extremely large projects.

Because that way you have have one small file locked by programmer A in the version control system and another small file locked by programmer B in the version control system. XSLT is not all that good at being used in large, multi-programmer projects; there's little-to-no automerge support for version control, and various processors throw warnings at you if you have a file included in more than one place (as you want to do if you're defining a bunch of utility functions in a big mass of XSLT code.) But having things being broken out into smaller files on some logical grounds -- semantic groupings of target elements, say -- certainly helps. -- Graydon This is a confidential email.
