Hey all, well I can clearly see that I'm not the top XSLT 2 experts in the discussion here :) But I think even I can point out several of the main advantages of switching to 2.0: * updated data model with sequences and atomic types. No more result tree fragments and need for node-set() * schema-aware (variable definitions with XML schema data types or import of schema) * loads of new constructs, functions and more convenient operators (in XPath 2.0) * multiple result documents
Quite good description here: http://www.altova.com/XSLT_XPath_2.html If Saxon is already included, then it switching should be a piece of cake, right?
