Hi Michael, Starting with utility parts is regular way to implement a new recommendation specification. But i think, functions is a very practical part. If i finish it first,may be some guys can go it into service. Months ago,i was working with a XSLT project based on Xalan, i need some XPath

Hi, In my plan,i will first implements all the 2.0 functions which do not use sequences and schema-type,because this job is easy and very practical,may be some guys and expecting these functions become reality in Xalan, so i will start here,and call this job step one :) After finish step one,i wil

Implementing 2.0 requires some moderately basic data structure changes to track Schema types (I believe there's a stub in the code, but not more than that) and to handle Sequences which aren't simply nodesets. Doable, but not simple. I'd love to see Xalan tackle it -- but Xalan lost its most ac

Yeah,if we are only in need of some function not supported by XPath 1.0. We can resolve it by extension functions. But,in fact,i think implementing XSLT 2.0 for Xalan is so necessary. XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 specification was finished at 16 Noverber 1999,but this year is 2010, X
