   As a developer I have seen some code that generated an excel from database   
   input using a XSLT (nothing weird so far).   
      
   get database data: select * from tablename where blablabla   
   for each row   
       for i = 0 to data.columns   
            excel.column[data.columname] = value --> BOOOOM   
       end for   
   end for   
      
   It worked fine for almost four years, until someone added a column to a table   
   without adding it to the XSLT. new column was not found in the transformation   
   file.
