Hi,
just my personal view: Several years ago, we moved away from XSL/T 1.0
to XSL/T 2.0, as it provided so much more functionality and allowed us
to simplify our tasks. We are currently using the open source Saxon
"Home Edition" as the processor. It is limited in its functionality,
however, while the limitations do exist, they do not prevent anyone from
taking advantage of the important features of XSLT/2+. So this is more
than fair and the said shall not be regarded as any kind of negative
critics on Michael Kay's business model. Nevertheless, to my knowledge,
there is no open source Java implementation available that fully
implements XSL/T 2.0 and later versions.
...
AFAIU, the limitations affect extensions specific to Saxon, not the base
language (XSLT 3 nowadays) itself.
Best regards, Julian
