Re: [xsl] Definite list of XSLT 2.0 processors?

[Andrew Welch <andrew.j.welch@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Abel,

The Oracle processor was pretty limited the last time I used it (June
08) however it may have improved since then... more information is
here:

rds.htm#BABGDJHF

Intel and IBM have both released processors, but both as part of
larger commercial software so its not straightforward to just pick out
and use their processors - I haven't used either of them, and haven't
really heard them mentioned on the list.

cheers
andrew
