Re: Was: [xsl] mode and moved to Namespaces

[Brandon Ibach <brandon.ibach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think Andrew was just clarifying that it was you who said "I have
stylesheets that use in excess of 80 namespaces...", since the way it
was quoted seemed to inadvertently suggest that Andrew said it.  The
following "I don't think I've ever had more than 8 namespaces in a
single stylesheet" was Andrew's own statement, offered in contrast to
the statement for which he appeared to have been credited.

And people complain that reading and understanding other people's code
(XSLT or otherwise) is too hard!  At least there's a
widely-agreed-upon specification for the meaning of that (most of it,
anyway) and limits on the syntax, unlike natural languages. ;)
