Hi again;

      XSLT can change your XML into any other conceivable text layout, not just
      into different XML. It could change it into a haiku if you wanted.




Well, almost. Russ, I've run accross some interesting limitations, especially in the Frame universe. But Harald, Russ is right - XSLT lets you do just about anything.

Which brings me to an idea for another philosophy paper. Given that XSLT lets any "X" become "Y", just exactly when does some arbitrary string gain meaning? Where does syntax end and semantics begin? Or is everything just syntax the way it is in XSLT?

Ah, well. I digress....
