Re: [xsl] no XSLT Jobs USA

StackOverflow currently has 9 job openings tagged XSLT, of which 5 are in 
Germany (Germany is also probably Saxonica's strongest market, if you exclude 
sales to software companies). These ads all list XSLT as one of a long list 
of technologies they are interested in, which reflects the fact that 
developers these days have to be multi-skilled. I don't think there can be 
many people who are full-time XSLT developers. It's just one of the tools in 
your kitbag.

I check SO regularly and hardly ever find XSLT jobs, currently I see 0
jobs, I don't know how you can see 9:

Dear All,
Is USA bad for XSLT developers?
There is not one job for people from this elite club?

I never in my professional life used any of the programming languages that I 
learnt at University; though I have always used the skills I acquired when 
learning them. People should leave University with the ability to pick up any 
programming language that's thrown at them.

Based on StackOverflow Q&A traffic, XSLT is somewhere between 20 and 30 in 
the ranked list of programming languages, which is pretty high for a 
special-purpose language. But it wouldn't surprise me if the ranking is 
actually inflated by the fact that many XSLT developers only use the language 
occasionally, and are therefore not experts in its finer points.
