I was wondering if anyone had looked at fxt

ns  and if they had any comments, to me it seemed like no improvement on
xslt. Does anyone see something it does better, or stuff it does which
might be better used in xslt 2.0?

A quick look at that spec says there's almost nothing it does that XSLT can't do (except, perhaps, its use of a stack). There are lots of things XSLT can do that FXT can't, especially XSLT/XPath 2.0.

My question is: why would anyone switch? I don't even see anything that's compelling enough to add to XSLT. Does anybody who's looked at it in more detail come to a different conclusion?


Perhaps this should be the question for xslt 2.0;  is there some
transformation language out there that does something xslt does not do
well, what is that thing and how should it be handled in xslt 2.0?
