Re:  no XSLT Jobs USA
XSLT as a :one-of-the-skillset" is specifically true in the USA
market. I was once Called in for an interview for XML architect and I
was being asked Java questions, which followed questions in Python
etc... They finally asked me what processors did I use for XML .. and
difference between for-each and apply-templates.

i think i dont believe XSLT can be one of the skillset as opposed to a
specialist job... when i finally landed on a job 4years back, xslt was
being coded by java developers and omg what a hacky approach was
that!!?? i dont blame them.. like Mike Kay said,  its  just that they
had not spent a lot of time into the fine details and techniques of
xslt and they were developers that only use the language occasionally,
and are therefore not experts in its finer points... we were able to
reduce time and increase performance by simple re doing the code
base..

Same was with xsd designers... we are still not able to understand why
an xml was created in a way that makes XSLT coding complicated...after
numerous

Its unfortunate decesion makers in usa think its not an expert

Germany (Germany is also probably Saxonica's strongest market, if you exclude
sales to software companies). These ads all list XSLT as one of a long list of
technologies they are interested in, which reflects the fact that developers
these days have to be multi-skilled. I don't think there can be many people
who are full-time XSLT developers. It's just one of the tools in your kitbag.

special-purpose language. But it wouldn't surprise me if the ranking is
actually inflated by the fact that many XSLT developers only use the language
occasionally, and are therefore not experts in its finer points.
