The documentation is somewhat sparse on practical examples of how to use

Remember that specifications are not meant to be tutorials. This comes up a lot in standards development (I also contribute to OASIS and ISO standards). A specification must objectively describe functionality. Tutorial content should be considered non-normative (also called "informative"). And some believe that non-normative content has no place in a specification.

Which makes fertile ground for books, tutorials, training classes, etc. which is good for the industry around the specification.

p.s. Crane's next hands-on XSLT 1.0/2.0 and XSL-FO 1.0/1.1 training class is September 10, 2007, and tomorrow is the "early-bird" deadline for the reduced cost of entry; registration is still open after tomorrow but the cost is higher. Details on our web site linked below.
