One reason to do it within your application is data security : if you display the XML in a browser, and refer to an XSL, you can hide certain data -- but if the user picks 'View the source' in his browser menus, he can see the entire XML file. Another reason to include XSL support is that it allows for context-management server applications: the programmer just delivers the XML, and the CGI-script (or Rev-built web-server) applies an XSL transformation to deliver for GPRS, WAP, PDA,... Yes it's more work for your server or your application if it's done beforehand, but it has its advantages. Jan Schenkel.
