That isn't the only point. Vendors are not going to want to support
webmacro. They need to support something global and that will be XSLT.
Simply because they can take in an XML instantiation and allow the user
to tweak a UI around that in XSLT in real time.! :)
The point is that a designer should never have to touch ASCII. The
should just design the page and that is it. Looking at a specification
in XML (they already know HTML) is second nature.

XSLT is "brain dead simple". The spec is daunting but so is the HTML
spec. Most people consider HTML brain dead simple and so is XSLT. The
problem is that it needs to be on paper and cover all possible
permutations so a large document is needed.
