RE: XSL iteration

While it is nice to be able to use IE5 for client-side ms-xslt, the danger
comes when a large client uses Navigator and is not willing to change their
operations for your product.  I've just spent the last two weeks rewriting a
whole pile of xslt stylesheets so we can do server-side transforms.  Now we
I have to maintain two code bases - IE5 and true XSLT.  Better to have used
server-side in the first place.

Although, one argument might be that while "others" have been waiting for
things to happen we at least have an implementation we can work with.

I know in my work place we would rather have this than wait for the
"next(??)" version of Netscape.

I support Microsoft in what they have done as it has allowed me to at least
introduce the technology to companies I have worked with wihtout having to
worry about hte browser being changed day to day - with greatest respect, I
see this happening on this list every week ! (which isn't always a bad thing
!).

cheers,
Steven
