No. WM is a much better solution than JSP and in some ways the whole XSLT
stuff because it is so limiting!!!
I like the fact that the designers can't write stupid functions in some
funny language...WM is simply a very very very very basic MVC model.
With XSLT or even JSP, you can embed code within your pages. That is
horrible in my mind. You shouldn't even allow that stuff to happen because
it *will* get abused.
I talked with Stefano about this at ApacheCon for an hour...He feels that it
is ok that this stuff is in there because anyone smart won't abuse it. The
same thing could be said for JSP. JSP can be used in a manner in which it is
a good technology. The fact that it can be easily abused it the downside
imho. So, take the easily abused parts out! They just are not needed!

tell me the truth, how often do you need validation like that (REAL WORLD!)?

XSLT is a kludge in some ways because it allows you to embed java code (or
whatever language) to make up for anything lacking in it.

that is bad imho.
