Xalan3 XSLT 2.0 XPath 2.0 support? 2007-07-26 - By Henry Zongaro
Hi, Johannes.
I'm cross-posting to both mailing lists to make sure we have broad
coverage for this discussion. Everyone, please follow up on
xalan-j-users.

Speaking as a committer on the Apache Xalan project, I'd certainly be
interested in seeing an XSLT 2.0 implementation take shape here. I'd like
to find out how much interest there is from others in seeing an open
source XSLT 2.0 implementation from the ASF. If you're interested in such
an implementation (as a user), please respond and let us know which
features you're most interested in. And conversely, I would also like to
hear from any users who are satisfied with an XSLT 1.0 processor, and not
much interested in migrating to XSLT 2.0.
Feel free to respond either on the mailing list or to me directly, in
private. I'll summarize the results of this informal polling in a week or
so.

For the benefit of the list, I thought I should mention that you told me
in a private e-mail that you later realized it was a developer on a
different XSLT processor (not an Apache Xalan developer) who said they had
no interest in XSLT 2.0.
Thanks,
Henry
