Subject: RE: [xsl] XSLT Dead? From: "Earley, Jim" <Jim.Earley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 12:53:13 -0600 |
To quote Mark Twain, "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" For data-based XML content, like RDF or SOAP, perhaps XQuery (already built in to the XSLT 2.0 standard) is the more appropriate approach in most cases. However... for narrative-based content (DocBook, DITA, even ODF for example), I believe that XSLT is the way to go, ceterus paribus. I've gone down the road of building XQuery for DocBook, and quickly turned the other way. The last I heard (about a month ago), even Microsoft has changed their tune a bit and promised an XSLT 2.0 compliant processor (not sure when, so with all pronouncements, don't hold your breath just yet). Having an 800-pound gorilla acknowledge that there is a need for this seems to suggest that there's plenty of life left in XSLT. ================ Jim Earley XML Developer/Consultant Flatirons Solutions 4747 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80301
