Fair enough.  Philip?  I do agree with the XSL+XSLT+XSLT 2.0 argument, but  
the number of people who even know what an xml stylsheet is is going to be  
minimal: It's not something you encounter until you're well into your  
training of XML and related technologies.  In other words, no one hears  
about "xml stylsheets" and says "that's sounds cool.  I wonder how I use  
them..." and instead "XSLT?  That sounds cool... search > learn > discover  
=> Oh, cool... I can invoke a transform using a processing instruction.   
How do I do that?" at which point they might search for it (though chances  
are good that if they've gotten that far into XSLT they own a book from  
Dr. Kay, Jeni Tennison, etc. so will look it up in that book rather than  
search for it.)
