Re: How to get UTC displayed on XSLT

Well, all such decisions are up to individuals and companies. A person 
with a good grasp of the intricacies of XSLT 1.0 and a company with a 
large amount of XSLT 1.0 code might be very reluctant to move to XSLT 2.0, 
and I wouldn't blame them.

Just my $.02.

Re:  How to get UTC displayed on XSLT






I think its time we XSLT programmers should start thinking switching
to XSLT 2.0. Apart from the availability of this feature as David
pointed, XPath 2.0 has a huge function library (as compared to XPath
1.0). The spec is also now pretty stable, so there is quite less risk
of the language features getting changed.

I particularly like integration of the language with XML Schema type
system, xsl:function support, grouping constructs, regular
expressions, and of course availablity of large numbers of new
built-in functions. All these new features enhance the productivity of
a XSLT programmer.

Mukul
