|Is there a good reason for this, or is it just that XSL has transformations

I disagree w.r.t. the excitement, but I also wonder.
I've been spending -far too much- time worrying about the
transformation plans for XSL.  %^)

Paul mentioned earlier that thousands of folks have pointed out
that they have their own scripting solutions, and it seems to me
(although I am fairly simple-minded, and not currently a programmer)
that CSS and using whatever from DOM representation should work.

On the other hand we sell Balise, so I am prejudiced.

 |Where does XSL fit in an XML application architecture?
 |Why is this more more useful than CSS?
 |What is the value of conflating style and transformation?

 |Thanks.  I'm attempting to write an overview chapter on styles, and can't
 |find any great reasons to tell people to use XSL.
