But my active data can be your passive data :-)
A XSLT stylesheet is a XML document which is active for a XSLT processor
and passive for any other XML application!
And a passive XML document which triggers some reaction somewhere
becomes active in this context...
That being said, you're very right IMO: XML "late binding" qualities
come from its passiveness and if you make XML Object Oriented and mix
treatment definitions to the data, you loose all of it.
