I find that people who know CSS to start with - especially if they learned it with HTML - find XSLT to be from a different planet entirely. "Why are XSLT transforms called 'stylesheets'?" is a pretty ordinary question. >XSLT is good at defining the structure of what you want to present and CSS >at defining how the result of your XSLT transformation is presented. >That being said, I don't know if it's because of XSLT but I also deplore >the level of support of CSS in browsers (especially IE)! I find XSLT unnecessary in about 90% of the presentation work I do. I suspect most Web developers find it unnecessary in about 98% of their work. I also find XSLT to have been a convenient excuse for certain vendors to ignore improving the level of support of CSS in their browsers and in their other tools.
