Description

It would be great to have XSLT as an optional template engine. It would require some sort of model -> XML conversion first.
The reasons to use XSLT are:

  • it's XML (easy to verify that the templates are in workding condition using DTD or Schema)
  • it's a widely accepted standard (higher interoperability between different frameworks)
  • it is extremely versatile and extensible
  • it's very fast (using libxslt from xmlsoft.org or other fast implementations)

There's nothing stopping you from doing this; you can use whatever template language you want with Django. Chances are this won't be a core feature; the goal for Django's built-in template language is to be accessible to designers and others with HTML experience but limited programming skills.

FWIW, #115 will include a standard XML vocabulary for describing ORM'd objects and lists of objects.
