    So you agree that, logically, the most open and semantically rich way to
transmit information is via XML with conversion on the client into a
presentation format. Whether the XSL sheet converts into XHTML+CSS or XFO on
the client is irrelevent to the fact that the data started out as
semantically rich, and perhaps arbitrary XML/RDF.

    In a perfect world, all browsers would support client side
transformation.
