This is probably a FAQ, but I haven't found the answer. I've been doing
some background research on XSLT as a programming language. Now I have
grasped the concepts of declarative programming, but there's one important
question left: what is the advantages of having XSLT expressed in XML syntax?

Am I completely wrong, or one the advantages is : If your XSLT stylesheet is well-formed, then the result is automatically well-formed (in a XML transformation) ?

This is an excellent reason for me !
