XSL intent survey

["Oren Ben-Kiki" <oren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a continuation to the XSL requirements thread, and since I got a
favorable response so far, I think we should go ahead and conduct this
survey. The survey questions are as follows:

1: I feel that the W3 organization should address the transformation vs.
formatting issue:
    yes/no

2: We need separate transformation and formatting (style sheet) languages:
    yes/no/undecided

If you answered "yes" or "undecided", for question (2), then:

3: The transformation language should be (based on):
    XSL/CSS/JavaScript/Perl/Other:...

Note: XSL here stands for the transformation part of the current draft; CSS
refers to proposals to extend CSS to do transformations, with a removal of
the formatting specific features.

4: The formatting language should be (based on):
    XSL/CSS/Other:...

Note: XSL here stands for the formatting part of the current draft; CSS
refers to the current state of affairs.

If you answered "no", for question (2), then:

5: The combined language should be based on:
    XSL/CSS/Other:...

Note: XSL refers to XSL as it stands today; CSS refers to proposals to
extend CSS to include transformations.

Finally:

6: Any further comments:
...

Notes:

To vote, just forward this message to xsl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and replace the line
following each question (currently listing alternatives) with your answer.

Names and addresses of voters would be kept on my host just to prevent
double votes and allow updates - a second vote would override the previous
one. I don't think posting the names and addresses would serve any purpose
other then giving spammers a convenient list :-)

I'll post intermediate results in a week and final results in two weeks. I'd
appreciate a reference to the "right" address in the W3 organization to
forward the final results to.

Share & Enjoy,

    Oren Ben-Kiki
