Edge systems make it useful too. We can't force
the other vendors to use our data dictionaries, so
we transform on the fly. The more agency to agency
work one does, the better XSLT looks, but you are
right that ASP keeps on truckin' internally and
externally where the communication is mostly one-way.
Locally we've gone from a company where the CEO
laughed at XML out loud to one that needs it
more every day to stay abreast of an industry
that has discovered that it cannot any longer
do its job without cross-system, cross-agency
integration. It's a gift to XML from the
heart of Osama and MFs who kidnap children.
Public safety increasingly depends on open
standards.

For a lot of developers, using a
well known server side programming language is a lot easier and a more
controlled environment than using XSLT. If the mass didn't moved its
because there is no actual pain that would motivate them to move or that
the actual tools are satisfying enough for the tasks to be accomplished.
A kind of pain that could eventually motivate developers to use a
content distribution architecture based on XSLT transformation is to be
forced to publish the same to TV set top boxes and to PC screen.
However, if HDTV monitors make it to the market, the resolution
difference is minimal.
