As Saxon is developed by the only editor of XSLT 2.0 [1], no wonder
he is ahead of all others.
I was referring to 1.0, though yes, he is currently compliant to the 2.0 WD.

Are there still any feature (non 2.0 features) Xalan is behind?
Are there references about it?

...
A know little about his company but taking a glance on the developer
count [2] the opensource community around Saxon seems quite singular.
On the other hand I see heavy traffic on the dev mailing list of Xalan [3].

Pro's and cons both ways to my way of thinking.
The source is available on sourceforge though.

Although I havn't got numbers about usage of the processors, I took this as a good sign, that Xalan is more frequently used and therefore issues were easier found and fixed.
Does anybody seen surveys about XSLT processor market claims?

...
Concerning the comparance of features (aside of XSLT2) and performance
of XSLT processors I am in need of some more facts (preferable links).
For example, are there recent results of a common XSLT testsuite, which
guarantees the user a common feature set?

 For compliance, or speed or something else?
 XSLT has no formal (W3C) test suite to my knowledge.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=xslt may help.

http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xsltmark.html for performance.


Does anybody know links to result of these or other tests. Best some comparance between the products? Many stated before the performance would be a lot better in Saxon than in Xalan, was this some personal feeling or based on tests?
