First, I only got an impression that folks in the Real World were having
trouble applying XSLT to actual customer specs for web applications.  I
don't have the details, nor do I understand XSLT myself enough to know
whether this is XSLT's problem, their problem, the customers asking for
something unreasonable, or what.

Second, my colleage Michael Kay *does* know an immense amount about XSLT,
has a fair amount of Real World contact as far as I know, and is on
the XSLT working group.  I trust that he is passing on feedback to the WG.
