Maybe, though I think they'd have to give XSL access to all the ASP objects
(for form interaction and all that) to make XSL do all the work ASP can do.
 Maybe that's a direction they're headed, in which case we'll definitely
have MS-XSL to contend with, but I suspect they'll be leaving ASP as the
framework and XSL as part of the toolkit.

(That's how I'm presenting it in an upcoming ASP book, anyway, but MS has
been known to change directions on a regular basis.)
