Re: is XSLT 2.0 implementable? (was: N : M transformation)

Daniel,

Never mind. You answered the question I didn't state very well. I've brought
up the too tight coupling between XPath2 and XSD, and while I understand
that there are a lot of PSVI people that want to have that tight coupling,
when you don't want it (which I suspect will be most of the time) it ends up
adding a lot of complexity with little return. Oh well.

Daniel,

If you didn't include explicit type conversions (which are a pain to
deal
with anyway -- I spend entirely too much time with Saxon 7.3 debugging
type
conversion code in XSLT2) do you think you could create something that
is
functionally compliant? I was rather hoping to see a version of libxslt
for
XSLT2/XPath2 soon.

   I'm not sure I fully understand your question.
The problem is that starting an implementation of a spec knowing you
don't have the tools to implement 100% of it is like jumping from a cliff
not knowing the depth of the water below :-\
Honnestly don't hold your breath for XSLT2/XPath2 support in
libxslt/libxml2
this sounds a large effort also with big prerequisites.
