RE: New XSLT 3.0 Working Draft

Heh.   You're quite right.  Congratulations and yay for the new features,
especially the accumulators and catch-ability :)

I guess I was thinking of for example browsers being able to handle 2.0
features (which I don't think any can, can they?), but you're right of course,
lots of people are using it internally.

How did you measure that? certainly almost all the traffic here has been
xslt2 for years. (One of the shocks of looking at the xslt questions on
stackoverflow where I look occasionally is that there is still there a
tendency towards XSLT 1 use, which I found rather shocking really.
Outside of a browser I'd not use xslt 1.

Crystal balls required for that bit...
