I been wondering for some while now. Could you possibly create a web site build with use of XML and XSLT? For a fact I know you can style XML pages with XSLT which is similar to CSS. I seen some sites with .xml extension in the URL, but to my view that seems more like Mod_Rewrite instead of actual .XML file. So could somebody confirm this. Is it possible? Or is it not possible to make XML based web pages just liked you would with HTML?
Yes, of course you can do this. Many people do.
To expand a little, there are three stages at which you can apply the XSLT: at publishing time (in which case you publish HTML on your site, and your users never know it was once XML); at page delivery time on the server, and at page delivery time in the client browser. Relatively few people use client-side XSLT, because it’s only recently that it’s been available on every browser (and even now, it’s often not available on mobile browsers).
