Interest in XSLT training is up, subscriptions to XSL-List are up, as is traffic. Several of the papers at Extreme this year were about XSLT: how to use it, new version under development, and how to extend it for various purposes. And there is no viable substitute lurking in the wings ready to take over. For goodness sakes: XSLT makes all the lies we (the SGML and XML proponents) have been telling about the utility of SGML and XML into truths! It's not going away. >and do they know what xslt is? Depends who they are and what they are selling. Fewer and fewer software companies train their sales people these days. It's a problem when they are selling in the Business XML market as if it were the Home Fax Machine market. -- Tommie -- ====================================================================== B.
