In Peter's defense I would say he does not seem to be confused, just expressing normal skepticism. His statements made in the course of the discussion I can summarize as following: 1. There is no need for intermediate XML transformation. 2. OK, I agree that intermediate XML transformation is useful, but tools other than XSLT can do it as well. 3. OK, I agree XSLT brings some benefits compare to other tools, but I don't believe it until I see it in action.
As a long time XSLT developer I find this course of argumentation fair and convincing to continue with XSLT.

That is not what we have been discussing. I am under the impression you're still confused on this issue of pre-parsing and intermediate XML representation. I'm afraid that I can't see how to make it clearer without organizing an actual demonstration... which won't be easy on the mailing list so I'll leave it at that. --ben Applied XML Solutions at www.marchal.com "concise, useful, and illuminating," Dr Dobbs Journal ------ � XML/edi Group Discussion List � ------ Homepage = �http://www.XMLedi-Group.org Unsubscribe = �send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leave the subject and body of the message blank Questions/requests: �[EMAIL PROTECTED] To receive only one message per day (digest format) send the following message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], (leave the subject line blank) digest xmledi-group your-email-address To join the XML/edi Group complete the form located at: http://www.xmledi-group.org/xmledigroup/mail1.htm ______________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
