Subject: RE: [xsl] XSLT Architecture: Next Step From: Stuart Brown <sbrown@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2003 15:59:51 +0100 |
Although I accept that the inclusion of an <xsl:make-bacon-sarnie burnt-to-a-crisp="yes"/> instruction would make a lot of programmer's lives a lot more pleasant, it is clear to me that the functional nature of XSLT is highly unsuited to cooking, which requires procedural, contingent, and thread-based operations. There are already a lot of questions on this list where people assume or try to force procedural-style progamming out of XSLT, and a set of cookery instructions would simply aggravate the matter.

Please, as a guru on the matter, sustain in order to understand why not. ;-) Looking forward, Claudio. -----Original Message----- From: David Carlisle [mailto:davidc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Jueves, 03 de Julio de 2003 10:39 a.m. To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] XSLT Architecture: Next Step > The question is (or are): Do you share these views? No. The abstract of http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt says what XSLT is intended to be used for, cooking isn't mentioned. All the uses of XSLT that have been mentioned in the threads you have started are clearly within the scope of the language as defined there.
