XML also supports tag extensions that allow various
parts of a Web-based application to exchange information.
For example, once a user makes a choice
within a catalog, that information could be added to
an order entry form with a minimum of effort on the
part of the developer. Since XML is easy to extend,
some developers look at it as more of a base specification
for other languages, rather than a complete
language.
eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)
A technology that separates the method of presentation
from the actual content of either an eXtensible
Markup Language (XML) or Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML) page. The XSL document contains
all of the required formatting information so
that the content remains in pure form. This is the
second style language submitted to the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C) for consideration. The first
specification was for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
