[xsl] RE: What are the differences between the different Saxon 9.2 versions and 9.1 (B) <----> 9.2 (HE) ?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm planning to put together a product data sheet that summarizes this
information in a digestible form, but in the meantime, the change log for
Saxon 9.2 is at 

http://www.saxonica.com/documentation9.2/changes/intro.html

and the impact of the packaging changes in particular is described largely
in:

http://www.saxonica.com/documentation9.2/changes/intro/install92.html

Of particular interest to you, I guess, will be the support for higher-order
functions in Saxon-PE. This is currently available only in XQuery, though I
expect it to migrate to XSLT in due course. Unfortunately the XQuery 1.1
working draft that describes this feature isn't yet published outside W3C,
so I'm rather ahead of the game here.
