I didn't think it would be this hard to understand.  Yes, John Prout
has it figured out.  I'm trying to mark a template that should no
longer be used (thus deprecating it.)  Man.  What's so hard to grok
here? :)

Is the question how can we deprecate an individual template in an
XSLT document - i.e. mark that a template should no-longer be used, -
that it's been replaced by something else... I can see some use for
this in the evolution of a transform

Now I'm *really* confused.

Deprecating templates in XSLT would be more like deprecating
functions in Java altogether - templates are very much at the core of
the language. Why would you want to do that? What would you replace
it with? Would it still be XSLT in any meaningful way if you did
this?

The same way you would deprecate a method in Java.  Sorry, I didn't
consider the non-programmers here.

I can't make heads or tails out of the subject line.  Do you want to
"express disapproval of", "play down", or "disparage" XSLT templates?
 Are
you trying to compute your income taxes, and need to "lower their
price or
estimated value"?
