ASP-DEv XM Features
What's the XM all about? You may ask.
This forum is XML based (messages are sill stored in the database),
all of the ASP pages generate XML rather than HTML.
This makes the forum very fast as there are no response.write, no
mixed HTML/ASP pages that are difficult to edit. The XML each
page generates is only a fraction of the size that the page would
be if it was HTML.
The other benefit of using XML is that the forum can be skinned,
simply by using a different XSLT style sheet, also by using XML
based language files, the forum can be multilingual.
