Unfortunately, XSLT cannot (to my knowledge): * Allow the user to individually override bindings without completely overriding the author bindings. * Allow dynamic changes to the DOM to be reflected by the binding dynamically. * Bind event handlers and styles to an element without affecting the original DOM. * Allow individual elements to have bindings changed dynamically. * Allow multiple bindings to be added to the same element simultaneously. * Allow new functions to be defined in the scope of the bindings without _any_ pollution of the document namespace. * Bind stylesheets to subtrees of the document without affecting any other elements. * Bind event handlers and styles to an element from the style layer. The first few are very, very important. The last few less so. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'Received on Monday, 6 January 2003 12:29:29 GMT
