This was missent and can easiliy be mis-interpreted. Andy and I, along with other members of the MSXML team have had a lot of conversations about being more open to the XML community and putting a human face on our development activities. Andrew's post is a great example of our moves in this direction. Also, this issue has shown that a void of accurate information can quickly become a forum for "MS bashing" and that the best way we can avoid this is to provide accurate and timely information to the community. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Marsh [mailto:jmarsh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2000 9:11 AM > To: 'xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: RE: Microsoft XSL and Conformance > > > Awesome move, Andy!
