I'm currently taking on a new project at home. In this project I'm going to be generating HTML emails. For this purpose, I believe XSL to be a good candidate.

However, I have heard people say that XSL is a dead language, and if it's not that it is on it's way out. In fact, MS has been very leary to support XSL 2.0.

Personally I feel that any time you are going from text to text, it is a great tool. Such as:

  1. Generating HTML e-mails
  2. Creating Open Office Docs
  3. Generating another XML doc

What are your thoughts? Is it dead, or is it still a viable, usefull tool?
