Re: Someone bashing XSL

[Stephen Deach <sdeach@xxxxxxxxx>]

In reviewing ALL the postings on www.xmlscript.org, it is apparent that
they are quoting a line from Michael Leventhal's posting on XML.com of
several months ago. Therefore, I wish to withdraw the first sentence of my
posting (copied below). This action seems to be that of
Decisionsoft/xmlscript.org and not Michael Leventhal.

In response to other postings on this subject, I agree that scripting
and/or other approaches may be a better solution for some problem domains,
just as XSL is a better solution for certain domains. There is no one shoe
that fits all.
