Re: How to get UTC displayed on XSLT

Hi Mukul,
        Definitely. But the market isn't exactly flooded with XSLT 2.0
processors. As of now, people are tied to SAXON 8.4 and above which though
an excellent processor is the only one at present that implements XSLT 2.0
and XPATH 2.0 spec.

I would like to see a xalan or some other xslt processor that supports xslt
2.0.

I have definitely started learning xslt 2.0 myself and agree that us
programmers start "thinking in xslt 2.0" as Bruce Eckel might have put it
had he been an xslt programmer.

Just my 2 cents.

I think its time we XSLT programmers should start thinking switching
to XSLT 2.0. Apart from the availability of this feature as David
pointed, XPath 2.0 has a huge function library (as compared to XPath
1.0). The spec is also now pretty stable, so there is quite less risk
of the language features getting changed.

I particularly like integration of the language with XML Schema type
system, xsl:function support, grouping constructs, regular
expressions, and of course availablity of large numbers of new
built-in functions. All these new features enhance the productivity of
a XSLT programmer.

Mukul
