Book sales for XML and XSLT are way down from 2000

I think this has more to do with the fact that people are looking to Google for quick "How do I..." answers to programming questions rather than to Amazon and Barnes&Noble. That+= the fact that it will still be a few more years before XSLT 2.0 reaches critical mass as far as vendor support is concerned, so the existing base of Kay, Tennison, etc. titles is sufficient to get people by for the time being.
