This is just what some people call the "pull" method.
In fact XSLT has a mechanism which is specifically there to make it act
more like the ASP type of templating language that you mention.
Having simplified your stylesheet down to to a single match="/"
template into which you "pull" the data, you can go the next step and
miss out the surrounding xsl:stylesheet and xsl:template elements
and just start off with (typically) the html element.
You just need to have an xsl:version attribute in the xsl namespace.
So your example would be
<HTML xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Welcome</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT bgcolor="{member/favoriteColor}">
Welcome <xsl:value-of select="member/name"/>!
</FONT>
...
</HTML>
No need for xsl:stylesheet.
David
