Well, in a theoretical point of view, XSLT is a programming language. It is just not designed to be efficient. However it has the nice property of not allowing side effects, as in real functional languages, and it also has a nice syntax (IMHO) to mix with generated XML. But couldn't extensions like exslt (which libxslt can be linked with) be an alternative solution? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA _______________________________________________ xslt mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xslt
