Even if both XSL and CSS are stylesheet languages, they don't work the same way. XSL describes operations to transform an XML document to another XML document, which can be HTML. While CSS associate styles to elements. Note also that CSS and XSL are not concurrents but complements. We need both of them because they are differents. [CSS is easy to learn, while XSL is not]. I personally do not use XSL because it's a complex way of styling HTML. This is why having CSS accessible via XML syntax sounds good. Best regards, Jean-Michel
