I think this has more to do with the fact that people are looking to  
Google for quick "How do I..." answers to programming questions rather  
than to Amazon and Barnes&Noble.  That+= the fact that it will still be a  
few more years before XSLT 2.0 reaches critical mass as far as vendor  
support is concerned, so the existing base of Kay, Tennison, etc. titles  
is sufficient to get people by for the time being.
