Hello all,

Do people have any feedback on whether, in their XSLT workplace, they are
using XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0 and/or if they have any idea on what the market
share of these W3C recommendations currently is and where, in the scheme of
things, XSLT 2.0 will go?

I remember reading a blog by, I think, a Microsoft employee, that indicated
that Microsoft would not be doing XSLT 2.0 so I was wondering what that
will do for my job prospects as I've accumulated quite a large personal
investment in learning XSLT 2.0.

Oh, I just found the link again:

XSLT 2.0 Sir?

"One questions that I am getting more frequently is Will the next release
of System.Xml V2.0 support XSLT 2.0?. The answer is No. It's not that we
do not love XSLT ...."

Thanks in advance for comments,
