I don't see the problem here. According to xslt.com, "XSLT enables and
empowers interoperability. "

What's not to like? Are you worried that we can't leverage synergies
across the enterprise with a dynamic, active transform that can
re-engineer our process structures for seamless interoperation of our
systems, thus giving us a bridge to the 21st century? Is that it?

Damn, I didn't even use a computer program for that previous paragraph.
It's up to you to prove that I didn't grab it from some web page
somewhere.
