Hi,
Please give it a shot, it's real easy. far easier than any of the lame php template systems i have seen. The beauty is that the same XML/XSL combo can be used with PHP, perl, JSP/Servlets, C++, VC++,VB,C,C# and the list goes on and on.
Disclaimer: I have never written a single line of VB ,VC++ or C# code and don't intend to do so in the future.
I have used XSLT before and can't say I particularly liked it. I have my own "lame" (as you put it ;) php templating system which I prefer much more. Mind you, in all honesty, XSLT support can be plugged into my templating engine if I wanted without any adaptation to the engine itself.
Cheers, Rob.

The publication of the project itself was partially motivated by the discussions that took place in this thread (A Complete List of PHP Template Engines?) which basically sees me arguing for the usage of standards (XSLT) rather than having to learn a proprietary new templating system every time you work on someone elses PHP app.
XSLT is itself yet another language to learn. Albeit a standard, it is much heavier than using simple XML tags or macros with PHP code. personally I never cared much for XSLT, but I imagine that goes back to my not liking LISP either -- which is a case of not liking functional languages versus procedural languages.
