Wow. Okay then. I guess it was fun while it lasted. I guess the conditions aren't there anymore (for open source development of large projects).
I guess Apache Cocoon's fate has gone the same way.
Personally, I think the volume of code cutters has increased, and the percentage of "casual" coders has greatly incresed. XSLT 1.0 probably couldn't get traction with casual coders who could only think procedurally and it scared them off - leaving no perceivable demand for the next XSLT interation from the code cutting masses. So the big coding houses like IBM, Microsoft and Oracle have lost interest. Personally, I think that's a shame. That XML is primarily useful as high-level web service data packets (competing with JSON) is a misconception. It might be the reality that this is how the market sees it, but "the market is wrong" Living proof that market forces don't follow technical superiority.
Cheers, Wendell
