To clarify- Extensible Style Language has three parts- XSLT which deals with transformations from one XML syntax to another or from XML to HTML XPath which provides a method for pointing to a particular portion of an XML document XSL itself- the parent document which deals principally with the XSL formatting language. Only the first two parts have been formally endorsed by the W3C as Recommended Practice. As to Microsoft, we shall see when they actually implement their promise to bring their current implementation of XSL, which is now many draft versions out of date, up to the final standard. A beta version of IE 5.5 has been reported. Perhaps full support of XSLT and XPath will be found therein.
