Wendell is too self-effacing on Mulberry's behalf: the XSLT/XPath 1.0
Quickref is entirely Mulberry's (as I was part of Mulberry at the time,
and getting it right was a communal effort).

They started out as handouts for use when doing exercises during courses,
with the expectation (long since confirmed) that they'd be useful after
the courses.  Thanks to Mulberry's generous terms of use, they've been
used in lots of other places by lots of other people, including as an
appendix in a dead-tree book.

I had thought Dave Pawson's was HTML but it's PDF:

Really, the specs themselves are easy enough to use and to search through
(and, yes, you can find 'or' and 'and' in the XSLT 2.0 spec).
