So XML has completed the displacement of 4GL environments begun by HTML forms. I like the idea that such a solution can be tailor fit to the local needs, and despite this highly specialized customization and integration you *still* end up with a production system implemented with understandable components and standardized languages. However, I've found it is still difficult to get developers to understand the semantics - this being perhaps the most difficult part of transitioning and getting such a tool adopted by others - and moreso if the XML encodes just a characterization of the domain. If it attempts to be a programming language, it seems to be easier to get programmers to adopt it, but conversely less useful as a code factoring tool. - Mitch XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
