It can yes... Though personally I find that the XSL equivalent can
also be cleaner than the CFML alternative (at least I think it's
cleaner in some cases) and of course I suspect it improves performance
when dealing with XML packets. If you'd like to post a small sample
XML packet I can work up an example XSL sheet for you. Or if you have
more specific questions about XSL tasks of course I can answer those
on list as well (assuming I'm able).
