We wanted the albums to be easy to view on absolutely any system, with any distribution medium. We want you to be able to burn an album to a CD and hand it to your grandmother, and have it work. While it is in theory possible to get server-side processing to work on any platform, we also don’t want your grandmother to have to install a Perl engine on her computer, or anything else for that matter. If you really want server-side processing, there are server-side XSL transform engines out there.
