I wonder if this means that most people running Windows will not have access to XSLT 2.0, ever. I was hoping it would become part of IE, as is the case with XSLT 1.0, so that we could write XSLT 2.0 stylesheets (that seems so much easier!) and be pretty sure that eventually most users would be able to use them! Or maybe MS means that XSLT 2.0 in-browser support will be implemented in .NET instead of in MSXML which is native C/C++ or something. Guess I will post a followup in that newsgroup. The reason I think it's very relevant to xsl-list is that MS's decision to support or not support XSLT 2.0 in their browser makes a big difference to me in whether XSLT 2.0 is a language of choice or not!
