>From the product description:
"XSL Editing and Debugging
Stylesheets are easy to write using the built-in XSL editor, which
includes full debugging, XPath visualizer..."
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To all XSLT programmers:

The XPath Visualizer has been around for more than two years. It has
always been  a ***free*** tool and will always be ***free***.

As it happens a company may take the name of a successful free (and in
fact open-source) tool and use it for a component of its $399
product...

I am not commenting on the ethical side of this phenomenon... but my
message to you is:

Please, do never mix the XPath Visualizer 

http://www.topxml.com/xpathvisualizer/

with whatever some company would call by the same name, whether this
might be done intentionally in order to use the popularity of the true
and ***free*** XPath Visualizer and to confuse the people into spending
their money for the fake, or just out of sheer ignorance.

How ugly can commercialism get?

Dimitre Novatchev.
