I'm not very found of XSL. A simpler alternative could be a Really, Really Good Thing.
Currently we have JXTG for the first step, and mostly XSLT for the second. Having something that could cover both steps and be usable by either programmers working on the first step or designers working on the second would be a Really Good Thing.
we are *NOT* trying to redesign XSLT, nor we are trying to solve the problem of creating a more friendly and scriptable SAX transformer then the XSLT/STX family.
That is a very interesting problem, but a huge one nevertheless.
I didn't assume that you were.
Let's start with the generator stage first: we'll attack the transformer stage after we are done with this one :-)
Agreed. I just think that a refactoring of JXTG will make it easier to implement a transformer.
