HOW IT WORKS
Your address-book (XML file) is transformed in your web browser (via XSLT) to a full-featured web application (HTML).

Web browser for viewing adx; online hosting or local storage is possible (for local storage most modern browsers need to be configured to allow access to local files); NO server, plugin or anything else needed. Any text editor can be used for contact editing (addressbook.xml).

Beautiful! The Power of XML!

This a great project! It is exactly the kind of address book I was looking for: simple but with all features, light and can be used offline. It would be even better if someone could build a simple front-end to introduce or manage contacts. It's a pity the workaround needed to work in Chrome, but I believe there is nothing one could do about that.
