I think that Elliotte is referring here to the Saxon 6.5.x code base: I'm not aware of any issues in Saxon 8.x where there are acknowledged bugs that I have said I won't fix (unless there's a good reason, like I'm expecting the spec to change). That's correct. I'm not paying a huge amount of attention to and certainly not depending on XSLT 2 until the spec is actually finished, and maybe not even then. There's a lot to like about XSLT 1, and it seems to solve my needs and the needs of most users pretty well. XSLT 2 isn't stable yet; and it isn't well understood in the community. There's some nice stuff in XSLT 2, but it's hidden under a pile of schema-typing and other extraneous features that strike me as not so wise. I'm not yet sure if the goodness in XSLT 2 outweighs the badness or not. In any case, I see no reason to move forward just yet. Saxon 6.5.x includes a version of the AElfred parser, but I don't regard that as part of the Saxon code base and I've declined to fix bugs there because it's not my code and you have the option of using a different XML parser: it was only included for convenience in the days before there was a parser in the JVM. I wasn't referring to AElfred. As far as I'm aware the full list of non-conformances in Saxon 6.5.4 is documented at: The specific bug that convinced me to leave Saxon isn't listed on that page. If I recall correctly, it involved TrAX failing to output complete document fragments when the output result tree fragment did not have a single root. -- o;?Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
