I think Tommie says this well. But rather than focus on the unsupported (and IMHO likely to be untrue) premise, I'd like to focus for a moment on the question: "what are the chances of 3.0 being adopted"? My thoughts on this are * while for users like me the advancements in 3.0 are way cool, but not particularly important, * for users like Google and Amazon who have *lots* of data, the streaming capability of 3.0 will make it very attractive, * users like Google and Amazon have money and resources, where users like me don't, * it's extremely likely that at least 1 major implementation (Saxon) will support 3.0, I think it pretty likely that 3.0 will have widespread adoption as a programming language and for use server-side. I doubt it will have any feet in-the-browser. I also suspect that Schematron implementations may find using XSLT 3.0 a lot easier. Anyway, I hope it does get adopted, and I hope there are implementations that users like me can take advantage of. Kudos to the WG. I'm looking forward to trying maps and @supress-indentation. :-) > > Since relatively few folks adopted 2.0, what do we think the > > chances are of 3.0 being adopted? > > Do you have some basis for that assertion?
