Subject: XSL 1.1 RD and first WD have been published
----
The XSL Working Group would like to announce the publication
of the first working draft of:
Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Version 1.1 Requirements
and
Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Version 1.1
The documents are available at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xsl11-req-20031217
and
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xsl11-20031217
Here is an excerpt from the Abstract of the RD that explains
the general scope of XSL 1.1:
Since becoming a Recommendation on 15 October 2001, XSL 1.0 has enjoyed
widespread support. However, the user community has expressed requirements
that have encouraged various implementations to provide extensions to the
language. These extensions--especially those implemented by more than one
implementation--are clear candidates for standardization so as to maximize
interoperability.
The XSL Working Group has surveyed and analyzed various existing extensions,
user requirements, and features intentionally cut from XSL 1.0 due to lack
of time. Using the results of this research, the Working Group is developing
an XSL 1.1 version that incorporates current errata and includes a subset of
relatively simple and upward compatible additions to XSL.
See the RD for a more specific list of features expected to be
addressed in XSL 1.1.
Comments on these drafts are invited from W3C members and the
interested public--see the drafts for details.
