Notwithstanding that XML is "SGML for the web", there are many strong use
cases for XML off line.
For example, in my spare time I've been cooking up a little time-logging
application, that takes my daily logs and crunches them to create my time
sheets (as well as doing other things with the data). This is a classic
one-source, several-stylesheets application, but it makes no sense at all
to run it off the web. I want it to run off-line and standalone. CSS can't
come close.
I'd like to share it at work, but some colleagues use Macs. And I'm still
spoiled enough not to like being locked into *any* particular tool.
So let's not disparage the hope -- not yet completely forlorn -- that some
day standards-based, platform-independent client-side processing will be
possible. There are applications for it.

I'd like any IE alternative. Nor am I saying I'd stop using IE. The app
vendors should be keeping each other honest.
Cheers,
