Hello!

Some time ago Lionel and I had a brief discussion [1] about incremental
transformations & Xalan. Unfortunately Lionel was the only Xalan
developer to participate in the discussion. Does this mean that the
other Xalan developers are not interested in such a mode of operation?

In any case I think there are a lot of applications for incXSLT and many
developers with a potential interest in incremental transformations have
not taken to using XML technologies precisely because there is no
incremental XSLT processor available.

So, I have the following questions:

1) Lionel, would you consider releasing the existing incXSLT code to the
public?

2) Can this existing code be integrated with Xalan? How tightly would
incXSLT have to be integrated? Would the "core" of Xalan have to be
changed or could incXSLT work as some kind of "plugin"?

3) Whatever the necessary changes to make Xalan support incXSLT might
be: would the Xalan developer community welcome such a change or veto
it?

All in all, I am interested in an incremental XSLT processor. I know
Lionel has written such a piece of software and I would be very happy to
see it released to the public. Is that going to happen? (I hope so.)
Under what conditions?

Regards,
Felix
