[mythtv-users] Mooting architecture for a DataDirect replacement

[Michael Jones]

Does XML or XSLT have the ability to control the *amount* of data  
that is published?  In my limited experience, no.

A system with an "intelligent" back end could publish the data  
quickly, accurately, and in virtually any format imaginable.
