This is the most important point that people miss about XSLT. In my role as a short-order IT cook, I select the simplest tool for the task at hand, starting with emacs (for single-shot data manipulation) and moving up to bash, sed, awk, and xslt. A common solution will get data via sql or sparql, go to xml either with xslt's unparsed-text() and tokenize() functions or awk, and further processing with xslt. If I've exhausted the simplicity stack and must look at perl or java I usually find I've misunderstood the problem or taken the wrong design. In my role as webapp developer, nothing but xml+xslt will do. Regards, --Paul
