Subject: XSL-T, XTL.... or XQL? From: Guy_Murphy@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 11:46:06 +0000 |
Hi. Thought that the following surmation of moves with XQL migh prove interesting to those interested in dismembering... sorry, clarrifying and marketing... oops, don't know where my heads at today... clarifying and making more accessible XSLs two parts... Please forgive, I couldn't resist ::puts foot in mouth:: http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/1999/03/quest/index3.html I've maintianed for a long time now that persuit of a general purpose XML transformation language would be best done under the banner of XQL, or at least starting under XQL. The reason for this is that XSL addresses a specific set of XML manipulation, ie that manipulation that involves the presentation of XML. XQL on the other hand has a far broader range of goals and for those interested in a broader range of utilities than the presenting of XML to the user, I feel XQL might better serve their desires without leading XSL into areas of concern that where not it's initial remit. [paraphrase: Look! Look over there! The grass is greener, and surely much more to your taste.... go eat their grass.] It may interest some to know that the likes of ObjectStore are already terming their use of XSL pattern matching syntax as XQL in their marketing blurb. Anyway, I swore I wouldn't start ranting again, so I'll quit while I'm ahead :) Cheers Guy. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
