Re: [xsl] efficient XML & XSL -> HTML solution

[Robert Koberg <rob at koberg dot com>]

Static html will always be faster - period

Depends what you mean by efficient. If efficient means the fastest delivery
of the page to the client then static html will be best. If you mean for
development purposes then dynamic (maybe cocoon or your own servlets) would
be best.

Why not use something like cocoon during devlopment and then when you are
ready to go to QA (and later stages of deployment) switch over to
pregenerated html.
