Any idea why Dave Pawson's XSL FAQ page went away?

Dave was maintaining some _VERY_ thorough FAQ pages on his site at 
https://www.dpawson.co.uk/index.html, including a section which 
addressed just about every common XSLT 1.0 error and edge case and 
misunderstanding that anyone had ever run into.  Unfortunately that site 
no longer exists.

Unofficially, the last known copy can be accessed through the Wayback 
Machine at 
https://web.archive.org/web/20180220010039/https://www.dpawson.co.uk/index.html. 
Without Dave's permission, we can't revive it more

Does anyone happen to know whether Dave took this down deliberately, or 
if we've lost him and he hadn't arranged for anyone to pick it up, or if 
there's something as good/better which addresses later versions of XSL?

Got in touch with Dave. He says "I retired 15 years ago and have given up the website. Liam has hosted it at github I believe. He took all the xml from my site."

Haven't yet confirmed that.
