"Experts are not needed for everything, but are certainly not unnecessary." -- BTU I must say this sounds like an Expert Opinion, Tommie, but in general I agree with you. As I see it, the part of XSLT which renders style is "WYSIWYG", but the processing part would be more rightly described as "PNATTMBTC", Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain. So called labor saving devices often do not end up saving much labor they just raise the presentation standards; a vacuum for example (think WYSIWYG). Nonetheless, you wouldn't send an Electrolux to fight an Ebola outbreak - because it's a different sort of clean you're looking for (think PNATTMBTC). XSLT is a nice language in which to see the difference between presentation and processing power, including as it does elements of both. --Gannon ____________________________________________________________________________________ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/
