(I assume it's faster than > xalan; anyone know how it compares to anakia?) When I first did it, I did some tests, and it was faster. However, it's entirely possible that it could be slower : it depends upon what you are doing with the document. I know that provides no real answer, but it's the truth. I would recommend trying it and comparing. Once comparison is document generation time : there is an example in the DVSL package where you can render all the vel docs (you need to copy the vel docs in there). > - how stable is DVSL? (Is a release planned? If so, when?) Seems pretty stable.
