Growing up in public. (It's the document, stupid..)

This post's title is the name of a Dutch theatre company. It would be a lovely title for a (my) blog as well. Recently I posted some blogs on xslt, some good feedback has well fed my insight. My main trouble was what part of a xsl stylesheet was data and which  part was code. A reply on another post made me realize I am old and suffering from some tunnel-vision myself. When looking at an xslt document I centralize on the xsl-transformer. How that analyzes the stylesheet and produces output. But what if I centralize my vison on the stylesheet itself ? It is a document and needs some code to fill in some of its parts. The difference is that it's not the code who is generating documents but the document calling some code. Which reminds me of the dos-windows transition, a dos program really owns the complete machine, a Windows program has to wait until it is sent a message. This scenario brings me back to the point where my wanderings started, IE (and not my .net app) opening a document (local aspx) and failing. Travelled in a circle but I grew a little older.

blog on,

Peter
