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 love this. Not to put words in your mouth but this is a reoccurring theme among most XML implementers. XML was supposed to make many things easier, better for their company and its bottom line, and a lot of other great things that make many companies more productive in many ways. The truth is it hasn't done this even though many companies are still paying someone to chase their tails in this new direction.
What has worked is teaching content providers to use XML based validated templates running as customized editors that check for proper well formed validation & style. This is done so that static web pages can be written by non-tech-types that can be transformed into their company's HTML pages and that include CGI & server side database information. So the content person writes in an editor that outputs XML data based on its DTD validation. The company uses this validated format system to update their website faster and with less technical advice from the tech side. In a way it gives tech-power to the creative side of website providers team.
