Re: [xsl] XSLT Dead?

The huge traffic we see on this list, with questions asked by people
seeking help on their live projects, is a testament that XSLT is used
a lot in industry.

One other point I can think is - today enormous amount of data exist
in XML format, which is growing by huge proportions every day. There
is lot of use of XSL-FO these days to transform XML into PDF. This
employs XSLT.

So XSLT is definitely important in IT architect's toolkit.
