Re: Standards checkers for XSLT

Briefly,

 1. Indentation. A stylesheet is an xml document, so the same
formatting guidelines apply.

 2. Limited lines' width so that the whole code can be read on the
screen without horizontal scrolling.

<p>some 80 chars
some other 80 chars
more 80 chars</p>

3. Consistent use of naming rules:

-- camelCase notation

-- pParameter, vVariable, ... etc. Hungarian notation examples.

    -- the names themselves should express the role of the variable
in the transformation.

     --  use of blank lines to separate sections of equally indented
blocks of code that have separate meaning/roles.

-- vertical allignment of long XPath expressions


4. Preference to XPath 2.0 code over XSLT 2.0 code.
