Hi,

I've been trying to ascertain the current status of XSLTC
compliance by reading xml-xalan/java/xsltc_todo.xml but I
find that it is last-modified on June 20 ... at XSLTC's
recent rate of development, this leads me to believe that
it is woefully out of date for a document of its kind! :)

So in the interests of both accessibility for prospective
new contributors and easier feasibility assessment for
integrators, could someone in-the-know please clean out
the most significant cobwebs from xsltc_todo.xml ?

Failing that, what I'm most eager for is the current status
of fundamental noncompliance issues such as these (from
"Known Problems" in xml-xalan/java/xdocs/readme.html):

- Casting variables: XSLTC requires you to explicitly type cast values
  returned by variables or expressions, when you use them in tests.

- Order dependency of conditions within a predicate

- [1] should be treated equivalent to position()=1, but it is not

- XSLTC fails to match existing nodes when match expressions have
  multiple steps with predicates containing the position function.

Are all of these still in effect? Are any of them
work-in-progress, or are they all sitting intact,
waiting for the mythical "developer-with-free-time
on-his/her-hands" to put them through the wringer?

Thanks!

        - Gulli
