For example, because xsl:for-each could not be replaced with
xsl:apply-templates in the situation when XSLT stylesheet is
invoked in a 'HTML-templatish' ( *very handy* ) mode.
( When root element of the stylesheet is
<html xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> )
XSLT is a mix of many different technologies and my prediction is
that XSLT as we know it at the moment is not the end of the story.
Verbosity, lack of streaming, lack of 'updatable variables' ( even
masqueraded with xt:node-set ) and some other issues will never
disappear.
