Understandably, the W3C isn't done with their working draft, so I can't expect to start writing "code" based off of it right now. However, books have been written and enhancements made based off of the aborted 1.1 spec, so I'm naturally curious when I can get my hands on the new functionality (most notably, a replacement to using extension functions for node-set). With that at the heart of my earnestness, my questions are understandably erratic--I want my new toy. Is there and ETA on 2.0? What is it? In the meantime, what support exists in "beta" form? Where is Xalan in all of this? Are they getting prepped (so I can take the plunge a month or two later), or will they start once there is something formal to work from? In unbridled anticipation, Paul
