So here's a question for the Datapower/Sarvega/XSLT-in-box folks:

At what point does it become cost-effective to consider such a solution?

- Running an intranet where the data is XML and you're using XSLT for presentation.
- Running a site where not only the local data is in xml, but you're handling feeds in RSS, ICE, and NewsML.
- Running a busy news site (NYT, /., BuffyRumors)?
- An eCommerce/enterprise application using WebServices to bridge all the components (SAP,Credit Card processing, etc.)?


It'd be good to have a sense of when to let go of software and embrace the black box in the server farm.

Thanks.
