RE: [docbook] Whatever happened too CSS+XML?

["Paul Prescod" <paul.prescod@blastradius.com>]

Ultimately, I see it as a question of separation of concerns. XSLT is a
great language for a programmer to express the structure of the output
in terms of sequence of objects, linking of objects etc. CSS is a great
language for a designer to express the layout of the output. One could
easily imagine the two working together where XSLT generates XHTML and
then CSS styles the XHTML for the Web and Print. Furthermore, one could
imagine a business rule that explicitly disallows the embedding of style
information into XSLT in order to disallow programmers from selecting
formatting options (as some businesses disallow HTML in code).
