Re: [xsl] XSLT 2nd Edition : Appendix F

The changes to the XSLT part of JAXP have been very modest over the years. 
There's a two-argument form of TransformerFactory.getInstance(), and there are 
clarifications to the Javadoc descriptions of some methods [often, sadly, just 
documenting the bugs in the Xalan implementation ;-)], and I think that's about 
it. They added Transformer.reset() at some stage, but I've never been sure why, 
because it's much better to simply allocate a new transformer.

The specs have never been updated to XSLT 2.0, and they have never tackled the 
interoperability problems caused by the weak typing on interfaces like 
Transformer.setParameter().

I'm fortunate to read Michael Kay's book XSLT 2nd Edition (XSLT 1.0 version). 
I've also read a lot of his XSLT 2.0 book as well. This is with reference to 
Appendix F (TrAX & JAXP 1.1 references in it) of Mike's XSLT 1.0 book.

Is anyone aware of the differences between JAXP 1.1 and latest version of 
JAXP (which is 1.4 I think)? The TrAX and JAXP 1.1 topics in Mike's book are 
very well explained, and it gives me a feeling that much of the description 
in this Appendix would also apply to JAXP 1.4. Any thoughts?
