Re: [xsl] What implementations of XPath 3.0 exist at present?

[Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com>]

According to the Altova online help text, they currently support the whole of XPath 3.0 and XQuery 3.0, while support for XSLT 3.0 is confined to xsl:evaluate, try/catch, maps, and text value templates.

Such a shame that they are never around to answer questions directly.
