 Definite list of XSLT 2.0 processors?
Happy New Year to everybody!

While slowly getting my hands back into XSLT 2.0 again, I was wondering whether the past one and a half years (yes, I admit, I was a bit "out") any new XSLT 2.0 processor or plan thereof has seen the light. Here's what my memory gives and what I deducted from my copy of the xsl-list:

-- Gestalt, Eiffel XSLT 2.0 processor far in progress, but ceased further development in Nov. 2008, open source
-- Saxon, Java XSLT 2.0 SA and Basic, fully functional, both commercial and open source editions
-- Altova, XSLT 2.0 command line only (aka AltovaXML), fully functional, known bugs, closed source, free
-- Oracle 10g XSLT 2.0 processor, closed source, free separate download, unclear development status, pre-Rec
-- Microsoft had plans for XSLT 2.0 for .NET 3.5, but no real new news seen since, not included in .NET 4.0
-- XSLT 2.0 features implemented with XSLT 1.0: remember the plan, can't seem to find it, it would be limited though


That is: 4 processors actually developed, some half-baked plans, one (two if we count SA + B double) real XSLT 2.0 processor, one XSLT 2.0 commercial processor (AltovaXML) with a disputed reputation and reliability. Is that the current status still? Does anybody know of another commercial or open implementation that's missing from this list?

I'm particularly surprised about MS, esp. now that more and more of their new technology is based on XSLT and XML. Internally, they've implemented the XPath 2.0 datamodel, but that's all so far it seems.

Kind regards to everyone,

Abel
