Question on Deploying XML on site

[RyvinAzael]

Hello everyone. I have studied XML for quite a long time now. [Over 4 weeks]

I have been considering to have my site written in complete XML and have considered DTDs/XSL/CSS and the like...

What I'm wondering is...is it possible to create a site using just xml? I know I would have to use pre-processors and the like...but should I stay using PHP [which I'm very handy with] or am I able to create the site now in XML?

I know this sounds a bit confusing But what i hope you know what I'm trying to ask. I have been coding in php for so long and I see the vast potential of having custom tags with XML.

I do hope someone understands my question, and I'm eager to learn.

I guess it al depends on your target audience. If all of your visitors are using modern browsers, like IE6, Moz and Op7+, then you should be quite able to use XML + CSS. If you only target IE6 and Moz you can even use client-side XSLT.

However, if this is not the case and your target audience is more varied in its browser choice, you can always pass database records into XML fragments and then use a serverside XSLT processor to output plain XHTML + CSS pages.
