Subject: RE: [xsl] XSLT Architecture: Next Step From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2003 12:10:50 -0400 |
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.
<xsl:plate match="premier"> <xsl:apply-plates select="salad | pasta | $specials[@day=$today]"/> </xsl:plate>
Cheers, Wendell
