Not that it's uninteresting...

...but apart from voicing in slightly different terms what XML freaks have been saying for ages (granted, with many disagreements and growing subtlety) for quite a while he doesn't seem to add much (though I'll admit that after a few paragraphs I switched to that mode my brain has that makes outlines useless).

On the other hand, I guess we can use as many voicings of the same ideas as we have ;-)

When I read it, the only thought I had was that this pattern is simply a new approach to describe MVC, using hip, kewl, k-rad modern terminology (with sources). Sort of like a cookbook of well-worn recipes that have been circulating for the last 30 years, but adding copious amounts of Cilantro, blue corn and Poblano chiles to perk it up a wee bit. :-)

Also, his XSLT examples need some formatting to make them more readable, but did the job. The JSP examples reminded me why I avoid JSP. :-)
