Another area I've been looking at is the DOM level 3.0 functionality
thats getting introduced into Xerces. Specifically in the area of
Accessing schema/validation info for a DOM node.
I'd be curious if the Transformers of the future might make
this kind of
information available to in the XSLT developers for more powerful
rendering.
Making schema-derived information available to assist XSLT processing is
one of the major themes underlying XSLT 2.0. Unfortunately it's also the
part of the spec that no-one has implemented or played with yet - which
is because it's a fairly significant piece of engineering to get it
working.
