The MSXSL parser transforms XML into HTML. This I believe will remain unchanged. I believe, and I am not privy to any inside information, this is only gleaned from tid-bits I have picked up on the list, that the WG considers that using HTML syntax to create flow objects is too confusing to the average user. In the following example:- <xsl> <rule> <!--here is the pattern part of the rule--> <target-element type= "greeting"/> <!--here is the action part of the rule--> <DIV color= "blue"> <children/> </DIV> </rule> </xsl> <!--This rule uses CSS/HTML flow objects--> We are creating a DIV type flow object with the CSS propert of "color" and a value of "blue". It is this that I believe the WG may alter although I for one believe it will be a HUGE mistake if they do, because it will immediatley drive away 90% of the potential users of XSL.
