Nothing stops us from rewriting the XLST transformation to plain JavaScript, and handle the XHP files directly via JS if XSLT is blocking us. [And this is a reasonably self-contained, and easily testable task: The XHP -> HTML conversion has to give the same results before and after the rewrite for all the files. We've got rid of XSLT in writerfilter the same way few years ago.] And maybe we'll eventually end up with using the plain HTML5 directly - I definitely don't want to block evolution (even though at the moment I see more drawbacks than gains). But that's my main point - I want an evolution, not a revolution. Every time I hear about "helpcontent*3*" or "let's move to html5", I get extremely scared, because such claims seem to suggest that we have to throw away what we have & rewrite everything first, and miss what we want to achieve in the first place; which from what I know is: 1) add multimedia content 2) make the editing easier But neither 1) nor 2) have html5 (or a complete rewrite) as a pre-requisite, for both these goals there is an incremental upgrade path possible: Improving XHP step by step.
