That’s fascinating because I wouldn’t have expected it. What’s an example of when they rendered output would be bigger?

Imagine 1000 numbers in XML and a XSLT with xsl:for-each which renders a div with a label, textbox with the number and maybe a button. That's a simple example. Output would be a lot longer than XML+XSLT.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for that. Ok, I could see why that’d be smaller, although I wonder now much compression could equalize it.
