I'd say you're missing the reality that things like this often come
down to a matter of style or personal philosophy, and no amount of
debate or even experience will resolve them one way or the other. I
guess the *nix geek permathread on emacs vs vi is the canonical
example. I wonder if the XSLT vs XQuery debate will go on for
decades, or if in 2015 or so it will be as quaintly moot as the old C
vs LISP permathread is today?
Well, I really wonder *what* will transcend both XSLT and XQuery to
make the debate look quaintly moot in hindsight :-) Anyone want to
speculate? (I *know* someone is going to say "LISP" <duck>)
