About 10% of the projects I have used xslt in have been for
presentation. XSLT, to me, has nothing to do with presentation per se. I
use it to take XML and change its form to whatever is needed.

I think there are 2 rather distinct forms of XML - data centric and
document centric - and XSLT can transform both kinds.

I think you would be doing yourself a disservice to think that XSLT is
somehow tied at the hip with presentation. It may have started that way,
but I am not sure that is the future of the language.

Cheers,
Rob
