Some folks like how I code websites, as they're very easy to upgrade/restyle later, being a simple matter of editing an .xsl file or two. Why re-architect a site whose content and linking remain the same, just to change how it looks/ works? I guess I could use PHP/smarty instead of XSLT, but those don't run in the browser, whereas XSLT allows all template markup to be cached at the client, providing a dramatic boost to user-perceived performance. From where I sit, using XSLT in such fashion amounts to "doing it right" as it results in less work, faster sites, and happier clients. -Eric
