This prevent to parse documents each time. Also, such a tool allows to do hooking to legacy stuff. We got such an example of a similar tool in the SGML world with grove database like the GroveMinder. What Tyler said is not so crazy and make sense. A XSL engine can be connected to such hierarchical database and process nodes. In fact, this is probably the most efficient way to do things on high traffic sites. ON the second wave these servers will support WebDav api and become then document repositories. thus we are moving slowly form a HTTP server as a file server replica to a document management solution that could integrate, at the same time, legacy information. No Tyler didn't said silly things :-). I could add that the problem is with multiple specs and pieces without maturity. Like for instance, name spaces make sense with schemas because an interpreter can validate the schema. Otherwise, it is just a plug to have two same words being interpreted as different things. For the moment, until the schema specs and other W3C workgroup learned about this, maybe we should consider elements with name space as a single word, that until the left arm knows about what the right arm is doing :-). So, the best practice for practitioners is probably actually to consider elements with namespace as single entity (not two entities separated with a ":") this until the schema spec is included into all W3C specs using name spaces. </Reply> Regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
