I was allready aware of this much, but then one still has | to choose between XSL and DSSSL. I have a feeling that XSL will outlive | DSSSL in the long run, but how solid is XSL at this moment? For transformations from XML to HTML, pretty solid. For print rendering, much less solid. The XSL FO spec is finally settling down and tools are coming along (PassiveTeX, FOP, RenderX), but the stylesheets aren't as robust yet.
