RE: XSLT 1.1 comments

Perhaps, instead of defining everything in terms of JAVA or C++, perhaps its
time to take a left turn and look at Microsoft's CLI which would allow one
to write in any language (assuming a proper complier existed) and run on any
platform. I have no idea how it would work but I'm sure someone does. In
fact, using CLI is perhaps better than JAVA, if for no other reason than
interoperablity. Microsoft has submitted C# and the CLI
(http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/memento/tc39.htm) to ECMA for standardization
where JAVA is apparently still proprietary to SUN.
