Peter, Some would argue that once you have all this in XSLT then the programmers are happy because noone else can understand what is going on! James Clark (who chaired the XSL WG) put it very well at XML 2002 in his keynote speech - that data-binding is not a good area to attempt to develop a single standard - such as XSLT - since that stifles innovation and leads to people attempting to use technology for purposes for which it is ill suited and not designed. For databinding it very much depends on your specific requirements and so determining the business requirements is the first step, then followed by reviewing those solutions that most closely match those needs.
