It seems that PsychoPath actually is another XSLT processor,it is different with Xalan.But it implement a subset XPath 2.0/XSLT 2.0 specification. In fact,i think the current condition about Xalan is that many developers help it can implement XSLT2.0 but Xalan community caught some difficults in implementing XSLT 2.0 for it,may be because some developers lost reason. So,i think expectation can do nothing, there must be some guy start this job and i want to do it. If i have a draft version,i will post my codes to open source community,and check if Xalan can accept my codes
