Of course, this hardly unique to XML and XSLT. Developer book sales on
pretty much everything are way down since 2000. Even new, hot topics
that didn't exist in 2000 like Ruby on Rails aren't getting nearly the
sales similarly hot topics would have gotten eight or nine years ago.
I'm no longer convinced book sales are a reasonable measure of interest
in a technology, even hot new ones, much less old established ones.
