I find a few features that I use a lot (e.g. better support for multiple output documents), and Saxon is often noticeably faster than xsltproc for me, even though the JVM has to start up. FOr a while I was using nailgun with XQuery to reduce startup time, and the same would probably work with Saxon. The ability to define functions, and to have them type-checked, I also find very useful, even yes, for document processing ;) Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/
