For God's sake, please keep the discussion here and, if necessary,crosspost to the
W3 list.

I'm watching too-many forums and cannot find the time to actively monitor one more.
Until now xsl-list has definitely been more interesting than the W3 lists.

One could argue that the "poor people" (BTW, who decides which are "poor" and which
are the "elite"? Who has sufficient reasons to proclaim them as the "elite"?) are
affected only if there are examples of messages for help staying unanswered. If not,
such segregation will be bad -- aren't the new XSLT and XPath languages for the
"poor people" too? Isn't their feedback important?

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
