Not sure if this is a Pro or Con, but you /should/ have a server-side process insert the PI so you are not hardcoding your presentation to the content.

Another Con is that you can't chain transformations.

Perhaps it is worthwhile to create a little list with pros and cons for people that are new to the subject so that anyone can decide for his/her own situation. I understand that you know pretty much of this type of transformation invocation, maybe you can help improving a Wiki article on this subject (not yet there).


Not complete, I'm sure, but...


Cons:

- no caching of the processor object
- when using XHR (XMLHttpRequest), the transform will not be invoked. You will have to parse the DOM to find the PI and apply the transform from JS.


Pros:

- simple
- works in almost every browser (just not in XHR)

best,
