Per,



The list guidelines, if I'm not mistaken, say nothing about 
commercial announcements, for or against. Posts only have to be 
related more or less directly to XSL.



My guess is that the poster probably knows that a certain proportion 
of readers will be annoyed, but is willing to pay that price.



And in any case, nothing prevents the poster's competitor from 
announcing a competitive offer. :-)



Cheers,
Wendell

I just wonder: Is this list a market place?



Even if the posting guidelines says
"There is no restriction on what may be posted to the XSL-List provided it
is related to XSL",
such commercial announcements from a specific vendor are - in my opinion -
misplaced! Especially when the target group is the customers of their
competitor.
