so you focus on different XSLT file refernced by the XML file.

I don't have this at hand for my previous example, but the stylesheet can
be
embedded in the XML file. Or the data can be embedded in a stylesheet by
".xsl.xml" technique from [1]  (that works on all BIG5 browsers).

Would you agree that this is an application then?


Even the external references to .gif files can be internalized by
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,..."/> as in this example from [2]:
http://stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/n-queens/n-queens.internalImages.xsl.xml

So is this an application?
Everything is contained in one XML file, data+code, no external references.

The application here includes XSLT - the input XML is not the whole
story. Which is in fact the point. of course.

If you write an application in XSLT, that doesn't make XSLT itself an
application.

Thanks,

Liam
