[xsl] [XSL] XSL Browser Integration

[Alain <alainb06@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your answers.
I forgot a precision with my question; I was asking for a solution with 
XML/XSL *only*. Of course if you add server side language or Javascript 
you can do it but then why would I bother learning XSL when I can do it 
with Javascript alone?
Im sorry for that politically-incorrect question, and I hope you dont 
believe Im so naive!
On the contrary, Im pretty sure XML/XSL *CAN* be *THE* future of the 
Web (client-side), meaning next /useful/ step after XHTML. Thats 
because XHTML doesnt bring much immediate benefit by itself compared to 
HTML4.01, whereas XSL does.

So the facts are:
- In *any* Web-related language (I know), client-side or server-side, 
you can access the URI or things like user preferred language without 
resorting to other programming languages.
- That is not possible with XSL (*alone*).
- There is no W3C or other organism (ECMA, ISO) normalization about 
XSL-browser integration, not even a draft.

The facts being even less politically correct than I am, I apologize in 
advance for the next question; but having stated facts, it becomes 
logical to ask.


Does W3C, and you, experts readers of this list, view XSL *MOSTLY* as a 
server-side technology?


Thanks for your interest to this subject.

That is nice, but you still need another language to feed in the params 
don't you ?
