There is another good reason for using XPS, its fun! I found XSLT depressingly wordy.
I wouldnt worry too much about portability since you should generally have only a few stylesheets anyway. The whole point of them is so you can generalise your site into a couple of stylesheets so its easy to make site wide changes. And anyway, since they describe the look and feel of a site, they are prone to change and updates. And when they are changed it should be relatively easy, I found XSLT required too much thinking! :) I subscribe to the view "if in doubt, do it the most enjoyable way, they are bound to pull funding half way through anyway!" :] -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Rahtz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 February 2003 08:20 To: Marco Marongiu Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: xps pro and con argument On Wed, 2003-02-05 at 10:23, Marco Marongiu wrote: > In my situation I can't care too much about portability, I need to get > things done fast.

I do subscribe to the view that the kiddies guide should say "if in doubt, use XSLT". -- Sebastian Rahtz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OUCS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
