"If you don't need XSLT's features, don't use XSLT." Fine. But what Steven said was: > Using XSLT to transform XML into Netscape 4.7-compatible tag soup HTML > is -- at best -- a wasted effort. Perhaps what he should have said is that it CAN be a wasted effort in SOME cases. Which is also close to a truism. So I see the whole "debate" (which has been running for around 7 years now) as a waste of time. Paul Prescod
