Stephen, thanks alot for your comments. That was the kind of thing I was looking for and wanted to know more about. I had a sense that it XML/XSLT could get really ugly given the "abstraction" each one promises. I think the most striking thing that you said is that it's very difficult to mix dynamic data and XSLT. I wonder if anyone (outside of aD, please) has had such experience, similar or otherwise?
I guess my question was based on whether XSLT was another buzzword or there was something actually behind it. I imagine that only time will tell for this.
