Dear Richard,

Thanks, but you give me too much credit. The XSLT/XPath 1.0 Quickref is
mostly by Tony Graham, while the later ones (various 2.0-related specs)
are mostly by Sam Wilmott. (Mulberry sponsored the work but the intellectual effort was put in by these gentlemen.)

I would like to also have browser bookmarks for each one, since I
don't find PDF or paper very convenient when coding. Are there plain
ol' HTML pages available?

I'm afraid not. They were really engineered with print expected to be
the medium of choice. (This was in keeping with the scenario that you want something concise, easy to scan, and portable. Now we have web browsers in our pockets I suppose an online version makes more sense. But it presents a very different design problem.)

Personally, when I want browser access to this info, I use any of these as the moment strikes me:

* Mike Kay's excellent Saxon documentation (start at
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/ and drill down: for example
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/functions/intro.xml is one click
away)

* Priscilla Walmsley's nice synopsis of XQuery functions (which
are also XPath 2.0 functions) at http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/ .

* zvon.org, which does fine work digesting specs into reference materials.

* A search engine

I hope that helps,
Wendell
