As Petr Cimprich will probabbly tell you (coming from a recent XSLTUK
conference, thanks, Petr, for nice presentation and explaining some of
Ginger Allicance goals) XSLT 1.1 is actually "on hold" from W3C working
group. That means you are free to develop proposed extensions (the heart of
XSLT 1.1) but it's questionable if they get accepted into XSLT 2.0 which
should be finished by the end of 2001.

  Actually from XSLT 1.1 draft I definitely need just a document() function
to be used for transforming content into several files which can be a nice
solution and a productivity improvement. Other XSLT parsers allready have it
implemented (Saxon, XT, Xalan). So my humble suggestion is to finish XSLT
1.0 support completely or all features needed 90% of an average stylesheet
author time and to quickly add just few important extensions from XSLT 1.1.
And to come quick with 1.0 release of Sablotron as several environments have
a policy to not install pre-1.0 release of software into production use.
Petr has said that Sablotron development is now progressing faster - and I
think all XML/XSLT developers will help you with suggestions.
