Actually, I think this criticism is justified; the article would have been better had we pointed out that there is already a perfectly-good stylesheet language in place (if imperfectly implemented). I can say that the editorial process was somewhat fraught and space at a definite premium, but still. This is particularly ironic since I have been using every other pulpit at my disposal (cf xml.com, conference keynotes, webstandards.org) more or less continuously for the last year to call for conformant XML+CSS+DOM now, and leave the future to the future. Having said that, I think that the quoted phrase is a reasonably accurate description of XSL. -Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
