Dimitri,
I'm going on Jim Fuller's advice here. I've just been trying to read the information at fxslt.sf.net but have immediately run into a wall. The "Functional Programming" subheading of your #Starting_point. The examples you have there are nothing but gobbledey gook for us non-computer-scientist-professors.
Can I suggest that fxslt would be a whole lot more useful if people could crack the documentation without embarking on a major oddesey (ie. having to go read "Why functional programming matters" before being able to get through the second page in "The Functional Programming Language XSLT - A proof through examples"). If there's no other way, then it stands to reasons I suppose. Otherwise, maybe a section entitled "Here's a bunch of useful XSLT stuff I worked hard on, and here's how you can use it" would be really handy ;)
I plan on reading it (WFPM) anyway because I am intrigued by the concept you seem to be proposing here for XSLT. I just hope I can make it through without having to go do that degree in computer science -- in which case I've been unfortunate in my gamble to pour time/energy into attempting to understant fxslt (which would be my own fault -- occupational hazzard).
At the end of the day, I am not a computer scientist as much as a template designer looking to get some usefulness out of your work (some sort of template lib?). I don't know if that excludes me from your target audience. It may not be intended for my type I guess :/ In which case, please ignore my whining and moaning.
