Dear Group,
People just do not get it. XML / XSL is all about meaning and
understanding. It has nothing to do with flat message space and
everything about Interoperabilty.
Modern computers systems need to parser information between ERP / CRM /
MRP II / etc and it is far easier using a common language XSL. What
will happen there will be a device probability software agent (bot) that
learns any data format and automatically translates it into a usable
formats.
