Have a look at the beer tutorials on my site. The same data is
transformed in many ways on the client without having to return to the
server. There are 3 or 4 different views, column sorting, filtering and
an SVG view. If this was implemented serverside then you would be sat
there for minutes waiting for the results. Going by the feedback I get
people are using this in production. Maybe they are only using it in
intranet/extranet solutions at the moment because of the failings of
netscape but that will change.

What planet are you living on? Xslt was created for transforming xml.
Would using it on a server as you recommend change the perpose for which
it was created?
