Hi Bryan,

Based on this dream, you're most probably not one of the W3C XSLT 2.0
WG :o)

Having such a dream is just the first step to the following:

 2. Make your hands dirty and make the dream come true.

 3. Start having new, even more challenging dreams.

Sorry for my attempts to act like Freud, but Jeni seems to be absent
these days :o)

P.S. 
     1. Did I mention that I'm looking for co-developers of FXSL?

     2. Why not have a new mailing list: "xslt.dreams" ?
