XSLT paradox - XSLT as one way encryption scheme?

["Jens Jakob Andersen, PDI" <jens.jakob.andersen@post.dk>]

Hi Mike

 

I have a question/observation about XSLT.

 

If we look at the equation, where :

XML(1)*XSLT(1)=Output(1)

as well as

Output(1)/XSLT(1)<>XML(1)

 

we find that XSLT in fact is an (effective?) one way encryption scheme.

 

Is this intended behavious, should i t be so, and is this addressed in XSLT 2.0?

 

It raises a lot of questions, especially about regenerating XML from some specific output.

 

I look forward to hear from you.
