"You'd be hard pressed to find many people, even in the web development
community, that either is aware of, or uses, document()."
Of course I completely disagree with this statement. I think it would be
quite easy for me to locate such individuals. And it's statements such as
this that lead me to believe that there is an honest misunderstanding of
just how prevalent the usage of XSLT is within the larger development
communities of the world.
Yes, I've used document() in the client, and been glad for it.
I also think you have a point that there's really no way of knowing
how much client-side XSLT processing is happening. One of XML's
greatest strengths is at the low end, with small applications and
even one-offs that don't get very far from home. While these don't
get any glory, the gains in productivity they add to any shop that
knows how to build and use them are probably impossible to calculate,
but not small.
Indeed, my guess is that the first browser that comes with a correct
XSLT 2.0 implementation is going to find itself quite pleasantly
surprised. I try to take it as a good sign that we don't hear about
this: maybe it means it's being worked on.
Cheers,
Wendell
