I am excited about this tool! But not the most about the performance.
FINALLY with this tool there is an environment that will allow me to
release to the general public a running XSLT stylesheet without revealing
intellectual property I've built into the stylesheets themselves through my
top-level documentation constructs, choices for variable names, template
names, and other named constructs.
When speaking with the developer during the Paris show, I asked that he
implement an on-demand request to obfuscate all the named XSLT constructs
in the stylesheet and to remove under a separate request all top-level
elements not in an instruction namespace. I've detailed for him where I
think all these opportunities are.
The people who were in the booth had not thought of the advantages of
obfuscation this gives stylesheet writers: protection of what we do and how
we do it. I see this as an opportunity to begin *selling* implementations
of my stylesheets without opening the kimono too much.
I say "not too much" because I understand from them that much of the
stylesheet must necessarily be present in such a form that it could be
crudely disassembled ... I just feel that if the disassembly revealed
meaningless names, the intent of much of the stylesheet could be
effectively clouded.
I can't wait!
