Why would you use XSL-T, if scripting is available? Especially doing pie-charts using XSL-T is painful as XSL-T is a "functional" language without mutables, so you can't just move through the data and add up the angles of the pies in a straightforward fashion but by recursion which is bloated even more by XSL-T's "syntax". Besides, client-side scripting enables dynamic SVG graphs. -- Pascal
