[xsl] Re: Modern web site design with XML and XSLT

["Vladimir Nesterovsky" <vladimir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please think about a person who will support you site after five years, 
provided it'll succeed.
To build a clever solution it's only a part of the problem; the other part 
is to establish an environment for the extensibility and support.

That's where standard solutions shine in their glory.
