Sorry for using MS products on the site but I program in Java as well and have worked in a Solaris environment as well as in the "Microsoft world". The majority of XML-related tools that I use are not by Microsoft. It has a small one page section dedicated to Cocoon, but has 25 pages on Xalan and 30 pages on Saxon. As I said it is comprehensive and balanced, and the focus is on XSLT.

I appreciate that those in the MS world are sold on Mike's book. I'd like to know whether its equally valuable for those of us who live without MS, i.e. no IIS, no IEx, no Windows OS, etc. For example, how well does it cover Cocoon?
