Coverage of cocoon deserve a book on its own. Besides Michael's book is
about XSLT and not
on how to use products who use XSLT.
The book is (IMHO) OS agnostic and the best in the market, proof ot it is
that the bulk of the
questions asked on this list can be answered by refering to a page on the
book. Besides
Michael is allways ready to answer the remaining ones :).
I think that the book( the second edition ) best acomplishment lies in the
way it presents different aproaches to XSLT. If it wans't for this book I
will still be doing 'fill in the blanks' kind of stuff .
