    PDA’s and other handheld devices, for a start. Different browsers (and operating systems) too. Or is your idea of publishing “one size fits all”?

    Let’s not forget the issue of customisation - for example a user logs in and is greeted with a personalised message or menu. Unless you start mixing XSLT with more traditional technologies (and if you do, it begs the question of why you’re bothering with the XSLT in the first place), how are you going to do it?
    INPUT FORMAT --> TRANSFORMATION --> OUTPUT FORMAT

    Or

    CONTENT -> APPLY STYLE -> CONTENT WITH APPLIED STYLE

    OR

    SEPERATING CONTENT FROM STYLE
    What have these got to do with the processes I described in my last point? You already admitted in your previous post that XSL transformations alone are generic - which frankly does not make for a very good CMS.
    Basic tutorial on this: http://nwalsh.com/docs/tutorials/xsl/xsl/slides.html
    I already know how it works, thank you - do you?
