Keep comming to this mailling list for a couple of months more and
you will notice how fair David is being.
Notice that:
- I am a MSXML 3 user myself;
- David mentioned that
"MSXML3 looks like it will be a fine product with full support
for XSL".
You may have a 17% vision but you know how to search for stuff in
the Web. In practice, that seems to lead to better results than
having a better vision but not being good at searching.
The fact is that this mailling list receives a lot of questions
like the ones mentioned by David.
The problems he mentions are a FACT.
Have fun,
Paulo Gaspar
