Some certifications are better than others. For example, the Sun Java
programmer certification sets a high standard.
For XML/XSL, IBMs XML Developer certification, while not without it
flaws, is a cut above the Brainbench exam.
Even that exam, while being easy for those of use that have been using
XSL for a year or more, does IMHO show that the person has more than
enough knowledge to do the bulk of everyday XSLT related tasks.
