Let me add my congratulations too. There are now 5 XSLT 2.0 processors 
(plus one abandoned one, Gestalt), and several more rumoured to be under 
development (for example MarkLogic). Competition is always good for the 
market and good for the vendors - for example, the feedback on the test 
suite from the XQSharp developers has led directly to several Saxon bugs 
being discovered and fixed. I'm looking forward to seeing comparisons 
across products (hopefully not just on performance, which is only one 
differentiator among many).
