And started an industry.
XSLT more than anything else, i think, established XML as a format and
toolset that could used for advanced text processing by people who did
not think of themselves as programmers - something that is still true
today.
This is the b democratizingb aspect of XML: putting the means of
productions into the hands of the workers.
XSLT continues to be awesome - but then, i'm teaching a course on XSLT
3 next week :)
A big thank you to all who contributed to XSLT and XML!
