Good point, which I also forgot to mention ;)
Here's an interesting aside - with seperation like this, CSS becomes
slightly superfluous - why have CSS when transformations are done with
XSL - you could go back to using <font> tags and *still* have total
seperation of presentation and content :D
(that's a joke okay!)
As for "how often would you need to move servers" - well I'm working on
exactly such a project now. We're hosted on Apache but "might" be
moving to IIS "at some point" in the next "few months or years"! Who
needs that kind of headache? XML+XSL is like Tylenol :)
