XSLT may have a very important role on the server..... Quote from article in the Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/000308-000005.html Gates: XML will live for centuries The importance of XML to Microsoft was reflected in some curious comments Bill Gates made recently in an interview carried by IT Week [USA]. Asked about the lifetime of XML, he said: "I'm sure there'll be XML data in some of these systems for hundreds of years... I don't think anything will replace XML... We love Visual Basic, Java, C and even Corba, and the rich runtime of this message environment should be language neutral." But there was also an ominous note in his remarks: "For some things... we will get standard schemas. In some areas there won't be standard schemas, so it's very important that our tools will have the ability to map between them." Let us hope that such schemas are standard across the community, and that the tools will allow proper interoperability. Microsoft could well continue in this unusual innovative role of being the prime developer of XML protocols, and become the legitimate technical leader. Imagine that.
