The question is if that is something that should be intuitive. Intuitive
aspects of a language are those things that you can intuit once a core
understanding of the language is achieved. 

Here is something I wonder about as I don't know that my own experience
is something to go by: 
What do people think is a required level of understanding (the core) of
xslt beyond which one can intuit the rest. 

And how much of xslt do people think can be intuited.
