I am at a loss to see why you or others feel that XSL is hard to maintain? If anything I find that the functional nature makes it significantly easier than trying to maintain JSP/ASP/php/ruby riddled html templates. About the only annoying thing is the lack of good xml diffing tools when you get a conflict in <insert your source control management system here> How much more granularity can you ask for? You get the ability to create html from small , finite "functions" that are responsible for only doing 1 thing. Its infinitely more re-useable than doing the same thing with a traditional language (unless your using lisp as your templating language =) I suspect the real reason is simply because "they" can't be bothered thinking and their current solution means they don't have to think as they already know it. XSL has it's problems. IMHO the former is not one of them and the latter is the hardest to overcome. Andrew M > > It is a sad day. > > Karl S.
