Benefits/Disadvantages of using XSL to render entire web pages

Question

I am in the preliminary stages of planning a project with a client to redo their current website. I took a look at their current site to see what issues they are currently deali

Answer 1

Sounds like they did it because they knew XSL-T very well and already had XML data on hand.

I wouldn't like the solution myself. XSL-T isn't the easiest thing to read or write. It doesn't lend itself well to visualizing how a page will look. It cuts designers and web developers out of the process. And it doesn't internationalize well. There's nothing equivalent to Java resource bundles that can pull out locale specific information. I don't consider cut & paste a good solution.
