But let me first preface this with the following... The goal of the Saxon.NET project is to provide to the .NET community an API that is 100% compliant with that of Dr. Michael Kay's latest Saxon API and that can be used to implement a XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery 1.0 transformation via any language and subsequent compiler that implements a solution supported by version 1.1+ of the ..NET framework.

I'm not interested in anything MS-specific myself. The whole point of what I'm doing is to provide alternatives to MS-centric workflows (the academy is totally dominated by MS, and I'm tired of it). So document formats I'm interested in are DocBook, TEI, OpenOffice.


If others want to pick this up for integration with Word/WordML, though, that'd be good, so it's nice to have Saxon.NET as an alternative. I'm thinking Mike's suggestion of a web service is sounding like the best medium-term solution, though.

If not now, there will be XSLT 2.0 solutions, via your desired mechanism, in the months, not years, to come.

Open source?
