The libxml API has been... rather widely used... for more than a decade... Your mail described some of your expectations when coming to libxml2 for the first time but didn't ask any questions. If the answer you are expecting is "oh, sorry, you're right, we'll change both the ABI and the API now and break everything" I'm not sure this is a good time to do that :-) If there were to be a libxml3 it would be a time to try and think about reworking it to support XSLT 3 and XPath 3 but I don't see that happening, no-one has the time. If you're wondering about the documentation, and it's available for your operating environment, the devhelp program has the libxml2 documentation neatly indexed. OK, that's more than enough guessing on my part :-) Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
