XSLT/XPATH 2.0

None of the browsers support XSLT 2....

>does it make sense to teach it to undergraduate students? Why?

Why NOT????
definitely browsers are not the only places that demand the use of
XSLT. Surely with XSLT2 , things have progressed much farther than its
initial intended purpose.

The use of XSLT in data transformation systems in middle layer of an
enterprise architecture , in publishing domain and in many such
domains demand some complex processing of the source XML which are
quite gracefully performed with XSLT2.

So you can and should teach XSLT 2 to students with never before enthusiasm
:)

so calling it a bubble will be a bit sad..


>>Are there signs on the horizon that xslt/xpath 2.0 will become more spread
soon?

XSLT 2 has been in use since a while now, and I am sure it is QUITE
Widely spread. Infact, my boss almost gets on to a frowning point when
I use XSLT1 when I could use XSLT2 :)

>>>BTW, I love the 2.0 possibilities including the schema awareness...

Great!! we all love :)
