I recently noticed that Altova, the makers of XML Spy, have released their XSLT
parser as a free stand-alone component to be used in application development.
Interesting and commendable, but it's important to note that this is
free-as-in-beer, not as in speech. It is very much closed source. I
could see using this to test the relative conformance or performance of
different engines, but for actual production use I feel much safer with
a genuine free-as-in-speech parser. I've managed to find bugs in every
single XML parser and XSLT transformer I've ever used, and this has led
me to a great appreciation for software that enables me to fix the bug
and/or to report it with some hope it will be fixed in the future.
