I never suggested that all the xml.apache.org projects use Anakia. I simply
wanted the option of using the tool that I'm accustomed to.

Use what you're comfortable. I want to use Anakia, use whatever you wish.

I have never tried to benchmark anakia against C2, or stylebook. I converted
all the Turbine and Velocity documentation to Stylebook and used it for more
than a few months. It did the job but it was a little slow, and I'm sure
this an implementation detail and nothing to do with xalan. I've never
knocked xalan.
We were working intensely on velocity at the time Jon wanted to try
using velocity macros for making HTML. It uses velocity so of course I like
it, and I have to admit I'm not at all fond of XSLT so for me it was a
natural choice. I admit it's limited but it did the job quite well.

Bottom line is that I think it should be up to the project. But I think it
would be fun to benchmark C2 against Anakia at producing pages. I'm working
on a compiler for Velocity (using BCEL, same tool in Xalan I believe) and we
plan to do more work on Anakia. I'd be more than happy to produce less vague
numbers. It all boils down to a matter of preference: you probably dislike
the idea of using Anakia as much as I dislike XSLT. I don't think it matters
in the end as long as a project produces good documentation.
