Hi,

Seconding what Dimitre says -- yes, you guys (the XSLT WG) are heroes!
Here's to an easy Rec status.

With congratulations to everyone,
Wendell

XSLT 3.0 is published today as a Candidate Recommendation.

or if you are interested in the changes since the Last Call draft,

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/Overview-diff.html

It's just over a year since the Last Call draft, and there's a fair number 
of changes (listed in Appendix K), but they are all fairly minor. Most of 
the changes are minor bug fixes plus prescribing behaviour in edge cases, 
but there are a few that are more significant:

* the on-empty construct (whose aim is to allow you to do things like 
"generate a table only if it has some content" in pure streaming mode) has 
been refactored into three instructions: xsl:where-populated, xsl:on-empty, 
xsl:on-non-empty

* streaming of user-written stylesheet functions is now supported

* the attributes xsl:function/@new-each-time and xsl:function/@cache to 
control determinism and memoization of user-written functions have been 
redesigned.

As for implementations: watch this space.

Many thanks to those of you who have provided feedback, either directly to 
W3C or via implementors. The level of feedback is one of the things W3C 
looks into when approving progression of a spec.

Some of you may be aware that there is now a published test suite for XSLT, 
currently amounting to around 11,000 tests, at 
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xslt30-test/ -- about half the tests are specific to 
XSLT 3.0.
