Ok, I will make a start here, though it is clear that I'm interested in an implementation, of course. Microsoft has pronounced to implement an XSLT 2.0 processor a few days after the specification became recommendation status in january. I think Xalan, as one of the main XSLT 1.0 implementations, should support an open source XSLT 2.0 processor as an OS alternative to the saxon-sa and microsoft implementations. I think Xalan has the great advantage to meet the two standards JAXP and XSLT. This tradition should be carried on to XSLT 2.0. Many might say, that XSLT 1.0 with EXSLT and vendor specific functions almost does the job of XSLT 2.0, but the new specification standardizes these functions and supports schema validation of result elements and many more. Especially XPath 2.0 is a real step forward. The <xsl:for-each-group/> and <xsl:analyze-string/> statements are great, two. The support for regular expressions is a must have at all ;) . So, please... Greets, Johannes Neubauer.
