Perceived ease of use is only one factor that goes into the decision of what products to use. ASP simply isn't an option for some because they have made investments in other technologies. Microsoft would do well to acknowledge MSXML's place in the world of XSLT processors. Put on your web site what the advantages and features of MSXML are, as compared to other processors. It does have some nice features that set it apart from other processors, and these features will (and do) appeal to a lot of developers. Your comments imply that you have evaluated Saxon and XT to some degree, yet no effort is made to make the average MSXML user aware that these other tools exist, how MSXML compares, what features can only be found in MSXML, and that XSLT is as widely implemented and utilized as it is. In light of this situation, it doesn't seem unreasonable that people, even Mike Kay (who isn't at all sarcastic about MSXML in his book), would be loathe to help innocently ignorant newbies asking how they can get their code to work with an incomplete, frivolously-extended implementation of a long-obsolete spec. His sarcasm has merit. Yours is just sour grapes. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
