Hello again,
Per my previous post, I've made a significant personal investment in
learning XSLT 2.0. I use Michael Kay's Saxon 8b (non-SA) processor and
think it absolutely rocks.
To continue on my journey of XSLT enlightenment, I'd like to know what the
compelling reasons are to use an XSLT 2.0 schema-aware processor. Is Dr.
Kay's/Saxonica'a the only one out there?
Probably I'll purchase a copy anyway, even if for no other reason other
than to show my appreciation for his excellent work and kind open sourcing
of Saxon non-SA. Unfortunately the last few XSLT contracts I've had have
been on MSXML/XSLT 1.0 shops so I haven't had the benefit of employer
support for XSLT 2.0 let alone a schema-aware processor.
Thanks in advance for feedback,
