Surely it was a mistake to approve by default, as this creates more overhead
for the patent office to investigate whether the patent is valid.  Whereas
the
deny by default, would have at least caused the large companies to provide
evidence of some proof of invention.  

How can Sun patent the fundamental way that XML/XSLT works?  Its like
patenting hyperlinks - its just stupid - because it is so widely used and
developed.

Surely the whole purpose of XSLT with XML is to generate content dependant
on
browser capability.    If we can't work this way, then what is the point of 
continuing any further work with XSL development??
