Hi Lachlan, > An document with <xbl xmlns="http://.../xbl"> as its root element will > already provide that functionality much more reliably than the MIME > type. It's the namespace that matters in XML, not the MIME type. But that was one of Mark's points, I think...that an XSLT with <xbl> as the root element could be mistaken for an XBL document. (And to answer Ian's question as to why you might want to have such an XSLT file--how about a transform for creating XBL from HTC?) > Another reason would be to allow for content negotiation, but that would > only be useful if there were ever another binding language for browsers > to choose from and authors had a reason to provide equivalent bindings > in two different languages. Which I think is very likely. (To link back to another discussion, I also think it's likely that you could have more than one language inside the XBL document itself.)
