RE: [xsl] In Search of People Who Know About and/or Use the Document Function

I absolutely use the function and quite often.  It sometimes makes me think
xslt is a programming language.  It's sort of taken on a perl-like
processing function for me.

Function

Hi All,

As per

#comment2232964

Of course I completely disagree with this statement.  I think it would be  
quite easy for me to locate such individuals.  And it's statements such as  
this that lead me to believe that there is an honest misunderstanding of  
just how prevalent the usage of XSLT is within the larger development  
communities of the world.

If any of you have a moment and wouldn't mind sharing with the Opera  
developers your own feelings on the above my hope is that this will aid in  
providing a better understanding as to just how misguided such a belief  
truly is, while at the same time encouraging them to take this matter much  
more seriously than they seem to believe they need to.

Thanks in advance!
