Frans de Waal : "The question whether animals have culture
is a bit like whether chickens can fly. Compared to an albatross or falcon, perhaps not, but chickens do have wings, they do flap them, and they do get up in the trees."

The XSLT Standard Library
"provides the XSLT developer with a set of XSLT templates for commonly used functions. These are mostly implemented purely in XSLT. ... Goals of the 'xsltsl' project include: (1) Provision of a high-quality library of XSLT templates, suitable for inclusion by vendors in XSLT processor software products. (2) Demonstration of best practice in XSLT stylesheet development and documentation. (3) Provide examples of various techniques used to develop XSLT stylesheets (i.e., a working FAQ). 'xsltsl' uses XML Namespaces, so there is no need to worry about clashing template names."
maki: serving XML via Apache and Python
"maki is an attempt to glue together a simple, flexible framework that allows you to use these technologies together to serve web pages. It is a mod_python handler for Apache that is intended to handle requests made to your server for XML files. When maki receives such a request, it determines the path to the file, then searches through its configuration to find the first rule that matches that path. Each rule specifies one or more steps that are then to be executed."
