Hi Roman,
I too am interested to devote my time on Xalan's future development.
I'm primarily interested to work on the Xalan Java version. In one of the
mails earlier by Michael Glavassevich related to this topic, where he
supports my involvement in the Xalan project.
I'll try to do some research on few points by Gary, in earlier mail below
and would share my findings.
