Re: [xsl] What implementations of XPath 3.0 exist at present?
According to the Altova online help text, they currently support the whole of XPath 3.0 and XQuery 3.0, while support for XSLT 3.0 is confined to xsl:evaluate, try/catch, maps, and text value templates.

Such a shame that they are never around to answer questions directly.
