This week the Doc continues his Web services series with a look at transforming XML into HTML using XSLT programming. We excerpt "Designing From Both Sides of the Screen" from New Riders. Our license plate gallery keeps getting bigger, keep those WEB GEEK plates coming. In other news the WDVL compares the design variables of the top ten sites, Meryl interviews Zeldman, and Apple comes out with a slick new iMac. The iWalk rumors turned out to be an elaborate hoax, complete with fake video, but the new flat-panel iMac is for real.
