I took a piece of it for a spin yesterday, for validation on the command line. its major flaw is its lack of ability to report errors back, either in reference to the XML or the DTD (and by extension, I assume this holds for Schemas as well). It just returns "valid" or "invalid". Not really useful. The DTD and XML are valid inside the regular old XMLSpyPro, but the parser found the contrary to be true, with no given reason. It seems like other implementations of the validation piece (java etc) have some ability to capture at least the last reported error, but in sum, I've moved on to working with XML Starlet for batch validation outside of XMLSpy because it at least has the decency to communicate. I'm interested in what people say about the XSLT piece though. I've been using Saxon for quite some time, since it integrated 2.0 so much earlier than the engine native to XMLSpy. I've been satisfied with Saxon but always keep my ears open.

Named AltovaXML, they claim it has full XSLT 2.0 Schema-Aware support which I think would put it as only the second (after Saxon) to offer this advanced functionality (and Altova offers it for free). The website [1] lists COM, Java, and .Net interfaces which pretty much covers about 95% of us. I haven't had a chance to download and play with it yet, but I was curious if anyone else has and what their experience has been. I've been impressed with XMLSpy in the past and am intrigued that they are releasing their XSLT engine as a stand-alone product. [1] http://www.altova.com/altovaxml.html -Peter
