A very nice feature of XML/XSLT is that you can display a set of XML data
in thousands of different ways depending on the XSLT stylesheets you use.
:)
One of the countless possible uses:
<% 
   if lBrowserVersion<3 Then
     oXML.transformNode(oSimpleHTML_XSLT)
   else
     oXML.transformNode(oAdvancedHTML_XSLT)
   End IF
%>
Get the picture? ;)
