Because when I order a book from Amazon, I like something to arrive in the post the next day, and in the arcane language of functional programming, the arrival of the book is considered to be a side-effect. But my answer to that is, as I said recently on another thread: use XSLT to do your XML transformations, don't use it to make the tea or wash the dishes.
