...or you can build up the different pieces using pipelines, later
aggregated (using map:aggregate) and finally rendered in HTML using your
favorite "skin" (an XML-to-HTML stylesheet).
Well, in my opinion, XSP is not that different from JSP (though, inherenthly
better). If I were you, I'd try to make a prototype of my app without using
XSP, just to see the potential (and limits) of "pure" XML/XSL.
