There is an XML oversight group whose responsibility it is to make sure that these specifications work nicely together. XSL's role in the XML world has shifted over the last year. It is time to re-evaluate its appropriate place in the XML hierarchy. It is not exclusively the domain of style application anymore. What we need to do is prepare a formal submission ("the transformation manifesto") to that group and to the XML community. It should a) describe the reasons that the languages should be split b) document the concensus behind that belief As part of this effort I have started to collect posts in favor of the split. We can use the volume of posts to demonstrate the extreme desire of the community, the content of the posts as cannon fodder and we can contact all of the authors of the posts so that they can become co-signers of the manifesto. Here is the start of my list.
