OK, I salted to taste a bit: "While technically Javascript, C, or virtually any other programming language may be used to express transformations for GRDDL, XSLT is specifically designed to express XML to XML transformations and has some good safety characteristics; XQuery has similar characteristics to XSLT, though use of XQuery in GRDDL implementation is less widely deployed at the time of this writing." -- GRDDL spec, editor's draft http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec#txforms 1.288 2007/07/19 21:21:00 > P.S., as you probably guess, I'm not satisfied with your answer. How about now? -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
