Unless of course you do design a better language. I think RELAX NG
and JDOM are proofs by example that when a W3C spec goes off the
rails others can and will create better replacements. I suspect this
will happen with XSLT 2 as well as the implementers of XSLT 1 who've
given up in disgust on XSLT 2 and XPath 2 begin to look for something
interesting to do.
Elliotte,
I would be interested to hear more detail of what, specifically, you think has gone wrong with XQuery / XSLT 2.0 / XPath 2.0.
The phrase "given up in disgust" doesn't really convey much detail of what the stumbling blocks are perceived to be and what solutions might be appropriate (and what solutions might be possible).
Which XSLT 1.0 implementers have actually given up?
