Hi Paul. Sullied is a vague word, but I was quoting the word used in the post I was replying to. I understand your conviction, and appreciate your right to it. I am just of the conviction that XSL split as you describe is no longer a style language, but a transformation language, and a dead formatting spec. This is an appropriate place to discuss the use of transforamtion in styling, I don't however feel it the right place to lobby for the destruction of the style language we are concerned with here. And yes I would be happy if those lobbying for the demise of XSL went away :) Cheers Guy. xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on 02/09/99 08:02:51 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: (bcc: Guy Murphy/UK/MAID) Subject: Re: Venting Guy_Murphy@xxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Hi. > > Yes I would rather see 100 XTL languages rather than see XSL sullied. Sullied is a pretty vague word. Most of us in favor of separating out the transformation language believe that the XSL style language would be stronger after that change. > If you want to discuss the future of XTL, please go form an XTL mailing > list. The XSL transformation langauge is currently a part of the XSL specification. This is the most appropriate place to discuss it unless that changes. I would venture that far and away most of the people in this fora are using the transformation language without the formatting objects.
