I did a small test using xslt to transform xml with xbl 1.0 into xhtml
on moziila. There seems to be no problem.
on moziila. There seems to be no problem.
My question concerns the future of XBL 2.0. Are the specs written in
such a way that the two technologies, if implemented correctly, will
continue to be compatible? These are supplemental, not competing
technologies, right?
Just asking, because I like XBL, but I am thinking about learning
XSLT, so first I need to know more before I start investing my time in
learning ANOTHER web technology.
In short, are the two intended to be compatible technologies (they can
be used together)?
thanks.

Yes. They're orthogonal: XSLT is used to create a DOM; XBL is used to
apply behavior to a given DOM without modifying it.
