Yes, and that's how I read this reply =) About the subject, I'm working on a xml-based templating system, which caches all the steps it does, so it overcomes the slowness =) And ofcource because I like xml and all the neith things you can do with it. grt, Evert
OK so besides the geek factor involved, what makes an xml-based template system that much better? The main benefit that I've ever heard was it can make it easier for producing output for heterogenous displays... http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/ The most obvious answer example that comes to my mind is Mozilla / IBM, but then again XForms is also on my "Little Dog Too" list. The geek factor is very important for my projects first of all =) The second also applies (output for multiple purposes). You really hit the nail here, because I am also using it with XUL, XForms and some other markups.
