I think of it as enlightened self-interest: the realization
of the importance to one's own interests of cooperation,
patience, and a long range set of goals. Yet, the zeitgeist
is there and patience is sometimes more important than any
other virtue. The time context is key. Real demand has to
exist so that lots of individuals become willing and realize the
same things at about the same time. XML gives a way to cooperate
and validate the behavior of cooperation. That is what I mean
by "shapes the behavior". The rewards are immediate and tangible
and so are the negative reinforcements yet the means or way are
actually easy to learn and comprehend. So in the Tit for Tat
scenario, it meets the requirements of clarity, provocability
and restraint.
Tell us what you think should be emphasized about XSL in a few paragraphs.

I really think that excellent, unselfish engeneering is a major key behind
a successful, long living standard. A standard must dominate by
excellence and not manage by fear.
PS! Another news of the week is that I read in the XSL FAQ (about
variables) that XSL is a functional based language. Major break-through
when I realized I got the chanse to use my first 4p from university :)
The difference between imperative and functional aproach towards XSLT is
around 2 pages. It should be emphasized when someone asks.
