They are not incompatible. Unless this is a typo, you compare apples and oranges. XML or SGML are markup meta-languages. XSL or DSSSL are stylesheets languages. You can (I do) use DSSSL for XML documents. The choice of a markup meta-language is partly independant of the choice of the stylesheet language. > Lurking on this list for a bit it seems that 90% of the questions are > answered with XML syntax.

For a new project where there is no legacy, I believe there is no question: use XML.
