well actually I posted it originally and in 
my original post I noted my concerns about 
xslt 2.0, and my perhaps paranoid 
assumptions that the complexity, tie-ins to 
xml schema came from the Microsoft end. Also 
David Carlisle noted some of his concerns 
but also noted that they had died down since 
working with the language as being at least 
partially ignorable - there were some 
remarks about the typing being annoying but 
otherwise he seemed reconciled. 

I suppose I'm also reconciled to everything 
but the damn explicit typing. 

Personally today I was wondering what this 
should have as an effect on xpath-ng which 
has become moribund but which I think might 
have a place again given this rather sizable 
slice of the market not moving to xpath 2.0
