Perhaps a downside (or strength, depending on your view) is that it has a single author who does it for "fun".[1] The fact that James Clark seems to have gone entirely quiet with xt (ie it is still incomplete vis-a-vis the spec) shows the problem with that. If Microsoft release a version of their XSLT which 100% implements the spec, of course the picture changes dramatically. sebastian [1] I assume. I hope I don't misrepresent Michael.
