Good point Jon... If I were a real expert (I only play one on Usenet) I would pitch in and sing the praises of a language designed for *interchange* of *specifications* for *transformation* as well as *formatting* using a *functional side effect free language* based on a language design which is *rigorously defined* yet *extensible* and based on *well documented* *standards*.
