I'm just getting started with XML and it looks like something very useful. In particular it is so obviously the way to encapsulate any data for which you see a variety of future delivery/repurposing requirements.
But I'm bit naive I think in terms of expectations for using XML docs as source for web delivery. I thought it was something simple. I'm just now starting to look into the options, but client side XSL transformations of XML source to dependable XHTML seems to be a can of worms. I'd rather make it a server side transformation, but that requires a server side XML --> XSL --> XHTML process of some kind to be running or be invokable as a per instance script call. If we could do this with just a revolution engine installed in the CGI bin and bit of xTalk on the side to call as needed, it would be soooo sweet.
I am thinking raw XLM data with a simple set of nodes that could be converted to XHMTL chunk and then inserted into larger more complete template that pulls on CSS and is then delivered to the client. I could easily write a parser/processor that would change stuff like
<category>Family and Children</category>
to
<h3>Family and Children</h3>
but, I'm wondering if someone has already done this, or if I'm missing something. Targeted application platform would be Apache running on Linux. The w3 org site seems to live in Redmond, Washington and examples requires a MS toolset. I'm hoping not to have to get into that boat.
