Note that Saxon 8 is not a replacement for Saxon 6; it's a separate application upstream. Saxon 8 is a conformant XSLT 2.0 engine. Saxon 6 is a conformant XSLT 1.0 engine. The Saxon 6 Debian package needs to continue to remain available, because there are, stylesheet packages such as the docbook-xsl package that are based on XSLT 1.0, not on XSLT 2.0.
--Mike P.S. In the case of the DocBook stylesheets, if/when we release a version of the stylesheets for use with Saxon 8 and whatever other XSLT 2.0 processors might be available by then, it will be a new, separate docbook-xsl2 package, not a replacement of the docbook-xsl package. -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/ http://sideshowbarker.net/
