That probably is true of XSL but it is definitely not true of DSSSL. XSL
is not going to be finished for quite some time (at least 18 months I
guesst). If it is decided to incorporate some or all of that back into
DSSSL (and that is not at all certain), I would be surprised if that
took less than a year.  So that means that it is going to be at least
two to three years before you see any major changes to the DSSSL
standard (there might be a bug-fixing TC before).

DSSSL is an approved International Standard.  XSL doesn't yet even have
an official group working to standardize it.  Let's keep a sense of
perspective here.
