Of course it's restricted! There's waaaay to much hype around
XML/XSL, too much misunderstanding. I can't really point out that
"XSL really isn't as bad as you think" if I whomp everyone over the
head with a full-blown, complicated description of everything XSL
does. Better to start with a description of what it can do *for*
*us*!
After all, that's what really matters.
