Re: [xsl] browsers with XSL capabilities
Subject: Re: [xsl] browsers with XSL capabilities From: Larry Garfield <lgarfiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 21:17:01 -0600 |
Most content editors or writers I know use MS Word. Every low-end web developer I know has never even heard of XML, and wouldn't know "good" HTML if it bit them on the ass. Every high-end developer I know and every XML-savvy person I know uses or is familiar with Linux. Add to that the benefits of developing on the same platform as you are serving, and the fact that Apache (61% market share) on Linux (33% server market share) is one of the most common web server platforms if not the most popular, and the plethora of XML or XSLT serving tools for Apache/Linux.... But if you don't care about all of those people, that's your right. But for every user you lock into using only the MS suite, you'll have another who doesn't want to or can't be tied to a single proprietary system, and you lose them. That's why open standards exist. The use of proprietary extensions should be discouraged, not encouraged.
