Don't even need a CGI actually. My UNIX is utterly rusty, but it
should only be something like
>crontab -e
i
0 0 * * * date --iso-8601 > /var/www/dateTime
:w
:q
which certainly has fewer keystrokes, and does not need to
be redone for every stylesheet.
But I agree with Michael that if you are using XSLT and are familiar
with XSLT and you don't care that the documents are not portable,
then using PIs+XSLT to generate text is completely workable.
