And you are misguided in your comments. Could you come back to something not personal. I am, myself, a user of XSLT and XML toolchain on XHTML.

Read above. Ask around, for example in the W3C Team, about my attachment to XML if you need proof. Please could you come back to something technical only.

XSLT works very well on a well-formed HTML serialized as XML, aka XHTML. Nobody said XSLT was not a good tool for *XML* documents. Read again my mail and the thread.

oh the irony. And you infer this from?
