Yikes! Well I'd just like to say what an absolutely amazing job you're doing, and a huge thank you. Every web page that our company serves up goes through Xalan (and has done for around two years now). If you ever find yourself in the original Cambridge, then you're most welcome to look me up for as many well deserved warm, flat alcoholic beverages as you can stomach.
On that score, I've just finished persuading the co. to release the code to what we use under LGPL -- essentially it's an ISAPI extension that makes asynchronous HTTP requests for the documents, stylesheets and any includes in either (essential as IIS will lockup if you make synchronous requests). That allows you to generate the XML document via ASP (or otherwise), which makes the whole thing pretty dynamic. In addition (with some fiddling), each included XML document can be treated separately wrt to POST data, which allows you to build forms from collections of separate XML documents (we call those templates, to be slightly confusing), and POST to them all at once, without their knowledge. Hmm, that's not explained very well :) It lets you do some interesting things anyway! No worries wrt to the patches, I figured you were busy. If you want to get the basic URI fixes in for 1.5, the code that I have shouldn't break anything (unless it relies on the bug), so that could be dropped in (old behaviour wrt to file:// and flip slashes is retained). I've got a test app for it as well, which shows that at least it conforms to the examples given in the RFC.
