After reading Jeni Tennison's book 'XSLT & XPath On the Edge' I was most interested in Part III of the book. I understood the concepts presented (reusing XML snippets, page templates, multiple stylesheets, etc.) but what I am vexed about is the 'placement' of ASP code - ASP conditionals , etc. I came across an article on XML.com : http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/03/27/templatexslt.html - which in the third paragraph, the author says XSLT "fails miserably at separating these two layers (data & presentation)." My question is, does the use of ASP bring conflict to the framework of using XML & XSLT to separate data from presentation? And specifically do you see or practice the placement of ASP in the backend (in XML) or in the middle (in XSL/XSLT) or in the front (before the presentation)?
