Compiled program ==> ML configuration file Interpreted program (i.e PHP) ==> included configuration file with variables set For most interpreted programs I can't see any advantage in adding extra code and processing time just to store the config file in a ML. > As far as content management, we use static include files or MySQL databases to > store site content.

I'm currently working on a class library/application framework for PHP (similar to Delphi's VCL) in which I'm using XML/XSLT for the templates. It's working great with development not taking very long at all. The two main advantages of using XML/XSLT for content management that I can see are: 1. It's easier to enforce a common look and feel on a site. 2. It's easier to re-target content (different transformations for different browsers). . Rich
