Its obviously not available now so if your consideration is for the short term then this obviously doesn't help. If its for the long term though you're good to go.I will look forward to it. Being someone who has gone through the mental transition from procedural to declarative/functional styled programming I can assure you that, while it does take some effort, its not as big of a deal to make the transition as people think it is. The upside is enormous and the effort fairly minimal. Its DEFINITELY worth the effort. With that said...I quite agree. I would much rather have the serious programmers make the effort to learn XSLT, but as a consultant my control is limited. Having the department-oriented business rules in JavaScript does mean that the programmers have less of an excuse not to maintain it. I am also looking forward to your port of Saxon to .NET. I am sticking with Java for the cross-platform support but those VB programmers are more likely to accept a .NET solution. Barry
