How do you do sorting and grouping? I used to have a solution in XT which was *pig* slow. Then I switched to Muenchian keys using Saxon, and it speeded up beyond recognition. Is that not a real case? The other obvious item is support of output encodings other then UTF8. Yes, I can work around that. > I think that I can do anything in XT + Java *and* XT + Java > solution will be faster than 'conformant' solution. fine for you. you can program in Java. I can't.

I don't know to embed engines, so it doesnt affect me.
