The specific attribute is 'System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute'. I can't figu...

Any big sites using Client Side XSLT?

Lately, I've been pondering the somewhat non-mainstream architecture of building raw XML on the server side, and then using an XSLT stylesheet on the client to transform the XML into the full UI.

How can I clone an entire Document using the Java DOM?

I'm looking for a reliable, implementation-independent way to clone an entire Document. The Javadocs specifically say that calling cloneNode on a Document is implementation-specific.

How can I style XML with CSS for viewing in a browser without first transforming to (X)HTML?

I know that CSS can be used to control the presentation of (X)HTML in modern browsers. I was under the impression that this was possible for arbitrary XML as well. (Am I mistaken?)

Once a programmer decides to implement IXmlSerializable, what are the rules and best practices for implementing it? I've heard that GetSchema() should return null and ReadXml should move to the next element before returning. Are these true?
