XSLT 2 Processors

Hi all,

We use XSLT extensively here at work and made the jump to XSLT 2 back
in January. Doing so increased productivity by leaps and bounds. Before
we made the switch, we were often doing "transformation s" with Perl
because of XPath 1's lack of support for regular expressions. Now, it's
all built in, and we haven't looked back.

However, I can't find any information about processors other than
Saxon. Does anyone know what the development roadmaps are for
Sablotron, Xalan, MSXML, and/or other processors? Why have these other
projects been so slow to adopt the XPath 2/XSLT 2 specification?

Thanks in advance for any information. I can't find anything!

Best regards,

--Bill

Lack of demand (XSLT 1.0 really does cover most needs, especially with
EXSLT to support it), combined with lack of resources (I used to be
deeply involved in the Xalan effort, but have been unable to donate much
time to it for the past year or two).

But I agree that I would Really Like to have seen more 2.0 support by now.

One reason certainly is that there are various specifications (e.g. XSLT
2.0, XPath 2.0) involved that are still a work in progress.
Microsoft for instance decided not to ship XSLT/XPath 2.0 or XQuery
support in the .NET framework before those standards are a W3C
recommendation.
Comments in blogs indicate
<http://www.tkachenko.c om/blog/archives/000590.htmlthat now work has
started to implement XSLT 2.0 in the .NET framework.
If you want XSLT 2.0 support in MSXML then look at this post
<http://groups.google.c om/group/microsoft.publi c.xsl/msg/70b7d60f96648b5 3>
and tell them your needs.

I have an XML document at the root of a directory tree that contains relative URIs to resources in a directory tree. During XSLT processing, these URI's can be used without any problems to access the various documents in the tree.

I need to use relative URLs, since the documents need to be...

Hallo, there were some posts about this, but nothing I could find useful. I have a large XML file (80MB) and need certain information out of it. I though I could use XSLT with an fairy simple transformation: .... <xsl:for-each select="/values/STRING/item"> <tr class="own"> <td><xsl:value-of select="A"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="B"/></td>

Let's suppose I have some nodes in an XML file, with an URL attribute: <node url="mypage.php?name1=value1&foo=bar&foo2=bar2&name2=value0" /> <node url="myotherpage.php?name4=value4&foo=bar3&foo2=bar5&name2=value8" /> and so on. Let's suppose I want to retrieve this @url parameter, BUT ONLY with the values, in querystring, associated with "foo" and "foo2" (thus discarding name1, name2, name4 and every other different ones).
