Re: XSLT on the server side

Saxon.NET might be useful if you want to integrate it more
deeply into an existing .NET application. If XSLT 1.0 is OK, use the .NET
XSLT processor (System.Xml.Xsl), or use MSXML3/4.

1. A word of warning: 
AFAIK  it is not recommended to invoke MSXML3/4 under .NET because
MXSML has its own garbage collection, which messes up with the .NET
garbage collector and may suspend indefinitely the thread on which the
.NET GC runs.

A safe way to use MSXML3/4 from a .NET application is to run MSXML in
its own process and to communicate with it out-of-process.

2. In case the .NET XSLT processor (System.Xml.Xsl) is used, the way
to achieve an additional degree of portability is to use EXSLT.NET
rather than some native extension functions -- for example use EXSLT
set.node-set() and not msxsl:node-set().
Thus the xst code will be readily portable to any other XSLT 1.0
processor that supports EXSLT in the same way.
