Yes, but "paying [...] for the products" describes paying $s (or s.th. else) to the developers of the implementation, AFAICS. Two issues are mixed here: a) Some specs are indeed influenced way too much my $s or corporate interest. b) Implementers should, instead of saying "It's too much / too complex work so I won't do it" and not provide feedback, provide constructive feedback to the XSLT WG. If the spec is going to make upgrading the processor too much effort, he has two choices: Not do it or send feedback to the WG. Exactly. There are more than enough ways to get feedback to the WG; and I am fairly sure most, particularly those on this list, will not ignore the comments simply because they are not from the $ paying members. I've lost count of the number of times Michael Kay on this list has asked people to provide him with use cases, etc. I have no idea how many did, but I sure he wasn't asking just to be difficult. Exactly! That's what I've been saying all along in this thread. Back it up with constructive critiques and the standard can actually be affected; just screaming "I can't do that; I give up!" and the specs remains. Absolutely and obviously true. As I said, I hope that all implementers who have any issues with or objections to the draft spec or parts of it should provide technical, reasoned, and informed feedback to the WG/authors and/or to the editor; that's the only way we will see XSLT 2.0 implemented. Parts of the current XSLT 2.0 look great, so it's worth it. Tobi -- http://www.pinkjuice.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
