Subject: [xsl] The Prince and The Current State of XSLT 2.0 Adoption From: "Ronnie Royston" <rhroyston@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:03:36 -0500 |
"It should be borne in mind that there is nothing more difficult to handle, more doubtful of success, and more dangerous to implement than initiating change. Innovation makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old regime and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new. Their support is indifferent partly from fear and partly because men are generally incredulous, never really trusting new things unless they have tested them by experience." Machiavelli, The Prince, 1513 I am so proud of what I am about to deliver to my co-workers (a scope of work with the click of a button) and it's made possible by XSLT (Saxon) and the help of this group. You guys blazed the trail, I'm just lucky to find myself en route to glory (and maybe a pay raise?). If you think that passage above is cool, check out Machiavelli's short intro to the book - http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1232/1232-h/1232-h.htm#2H_4_0006 ...back to my coffee and notepad. - Ronnie Royston
