* Mike Brown | | Yes, the problem is that pure XML/XSLT is too hard for your average | "HTML programmer" to master in short order, in part because its | functionality is less than obvious (side effect free operations on | and specified by abstract trees derived from documents, rather than | markup as direct controls for browser behavior). This could very well be true, but it is still problematic, and for me it is hard to understand why Microsoft chooses to implement XSLT at all if they don't believe in it. It is equally hard to understand why they choose to only implement it half-heartedly when they first decide to implement it. If XSLT is too difficult or has anything else wrong with it, why not implement something else, rather than an incompatible 'extended subset'? So, sorry Mike, but I still think MS deserves a bashing for not doing this properly. --Lars M. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
