Re: [xsl] Introducing myself to the list

Welcome to the list!

Have you considered experimenting with the Saxon/CE product?

  http://www.saxonica.com/ce/index.xml

This implements client-side XSLT 2.0 in modern browsers.  You will 
find XSLT 2.0 far better than XSLT 1.0.

My own experimentation with Saxon/CE is realized on this page I 
created for my fellow members of a standards committee:

  http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/Crane-UBL-Skeleton/

I, too, use Python as my programming language of choice for anything 
non-XML-related.  But if the input is XML I have come to believe XSLT 
is the only way to go to process it.  And Saxon/CE means you don't 
have to give up on XSLT 2.0 if you need do client-side processing or 
to create interactive web sites based on XML content.

I'm confident that if you are interested in XML processing, XSLT will 
do wonderful things for you.  I built a career and then retired on 
the success of teaching and implementing XSLT and XSL-FO for clients 
around the world.  It was a wonderful run!

Good luck!
