Re[2]: Netscape support for XSL Stylesheets

---

One advantage to Microsoft getting onboard early--and I hate to say anything
that appears to be supporting MS--is that my manager (not very technical but
knows MS is the empire) has concluded XML is okay to start looking at. So he
pays for my classes.

Also, it is very much more likely the Army will push my manager to get onboard.

Now Netscape can perhaps do it right when MS screws up.

XSL is not a priority for the 5.0 release of Mozilla. They
are committed to being a "standards-compliant" browser and
XSL is not yet a standard. Plus, they have their hands full
trying to support CSS1, CSS2, DOM, etc. I don't think it
will take long after (if) XSL becomes a W3C Recommendation
to see support in Mozilla, especially if they adopt a 
Linux-like rapid-patching schedule.

I'm not going to rail against Microsoft for moving early to
support XSL, but I think we can all see the danger of forking
XSL development evident in recent threads.
