   Documenting XSLT (Was: Note from the Troll)

XSLT files are maintainable with the same level of ease as densely

The problem might, at least partly, be attributed to the absence of a documentation element in XSLT 1.0.

I have recently posted a comment to the XSLT 2.0 WG asking that they consider adding one to XSLT 2.0. And the response was that they would look at adding a documentation element, despite it being fairly late in the process.

So we can but sit here with our fingers crossed. You know ... knit one, Perl one. :)
