@wizzwizz4 I think the W3C actually wanted people to do things that way at one point.
@alexbuzzbee Seriously‽ XSLT is a useful tool for several specific situations, plus whenever you're trying to serve as many people as possible on very little bandwidth, but XML has no place as a way of storing data. Serialising it, yes, but most definitely not manipulating it.
@wizzwizz4 The key thing to understand about XML is that it's a markup language, not a data storage language. It's intended for storing documents with semantics, and it's pretty good at that. However, it is a very bad idea to try to use it as a replacement for a relational database.
