Yes. ___If people don't want to do on the fly transformation___, then we
don't gain a lot. But if they don't want to do on the fly transformation,
then they're not going to support the XSL in CompSpec either so you're not
losing anything.
At least with the URI you give people the chance to go half way and
support the XSL by a direct transformation of their internal data as
opposed to simply ignoring it altogether.
