XML Schema is still not ratified, and we like everyone else are supporting the standard as it evolves. BTW, Lee specifically mentions MSXML3, which does have XSLT support. The older parser that shipped with IE5 had more limited support based on earlier drafts. There is an XSLT stylesheet at http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/webtechnology/xml/xsltconv.asp which will convert older stylesheets to the new XSLT format. -J >> Joshua, I was very interested in your unqualified statement that MSXML3 (presumably the May 2000 release) "does have XSLT support". Should your statement be taken to indicate that MSXML3 now is 100% compliant with the XSLT Recommendation of November 1999? If not then to what extent is May 2000 MSXML3 compliant with November 1999 XSLT? Are there residual "issues"? If so, is there a publicly available list of those? I appreciate that it is not easy to express this numerically but can you clarify what Microsoft's official position is on just how compliant May 2000 MSXML3 is with respect to XSLT. My understanding is that Microsoft is aiming for 100% compliance. To turn the question another way, is it possible to estimate when 100% compliance will be achieved? Thanks in advance Andrew Watt XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
