Okay I can't really say I've tried to use
xslt 2.0 much, I have the latest Saxon but
pretty much all my work revolves around
msxml 4.0
That said I have tried to understand it,
aside from the irrational anti-xsdl stuff I
have an antipathy to xpath having
conditional and for expressions, as I
personally thought that should be part of
the individual programming language
environment calling xpath rather than xpath
itself, and I fear that their presence might
cause debugging problems for people with
code to maintain and not the great xpath
expertise. These concerns I decided to drop
however because I considered the irrational
anti-xsdl stuff more important, basically I
saw it as a compromise.

I don't have too much of a complaint about
XQuery having xsdl dependencies, I think
it's fine that one language has it, but all
of them has to have it, I thought the
intellectual fashion nowadays was to be
something of a latter-day pseudo-Darwinian
and allow one's languages to fight it out
with survival of the most fit being the goal.
That said I'm sure you've probably gone over
the many ways that concerns about xslt 2.0
dependencies is so much irrational FUD in
some other post in the past, can you send me
the link so I don't have to google all over
for your response? As an aside you seem to
be of two minds on this irrational FUD, as
you characterize it, as you claim that aside
from that you have not seen any valid issues
brought up, implying that you also see it as
something of a valid issue.
