Claudio, you can use XSLT just for presentation and live a long healthy
life. No one will mock you. Feel free.

However, I do so enjoy taking a semi-large document, running it through
an XSLT process to get a smaller sub-set of data then using it via DOM
in java. I think this is elegant way to keep the DOM small. There are
also a myriad of ways to use XSLT that don't tread on the Assembly,
Java, or C ground.

I think the world should just throw away hammers because if you take a
screw driver and use the butt end, you can hammer in nails if you try
really hard.


Cheers,
Rob
