Re: [xml-dev] Topics of keen interest to me ... how about you?

I find it interesting that "data driven" can someone how be viewed as in opposition from giving the user a better UI. �In the end, the metadata that should be used to build user interfaces is still data and exposing that as early and directly as possible and giving the users ways to manipulate that data is the best way to build a powerful user interface. �Exposing it directly as XML is probably not part of that scenario, but XSLT on top of XML can be directly below the layer that is exposed to the user and is very flexible and powerful.
