...And since the reason why xslt is XML is to allow auto-processing, but tell me: how many times did you have to write a stylesheet that processed a stylesheet?
I see your point - I cannot see an advantage today of having XSLT stylesheets written in XML.
I transform XSL to upgrade client's XSL with enhancements I make over time. Not always easy, but much easier than doing it by hand. Without XSL what would you use? Regexp?
My point is: if you need it, great, use it. But if you don't, why should you impose your syntax upon us?
What I would like is simply a non-xml syntax for XSLT. RDF is going to have it (another interesting concept totally ruined by the un-friendlyness of their syntax). RelaxNG is going to have it (thank &deity; it's better than DTD's syntax!).
Why shouldn't XSLT?
Stefano.
