status of XSLT 2.0 support?

["DuCharme, Bob (LNG-CHO)" <bo...@lexisnexis.com>]

I'm writing this from the XML 2005 conference in Atlanta, and I was just
discussing the progress of XSLT 2.0 implementation with Wendell Piez. Can
anyone tell me about where Xalan Java XSLT 2.0 support stands right now? Any
ideas for particular subsets of support in any particular quarter of the
year? 
 
thanks,
 
Bob DuCharme

     I don't think anybody responded to you on the mailing list.  Some 
prototype work for XSLT 2.0 support in the Xalan-J Interpretive processor 
went on in 2003, but then trailed off.  That prototype work is still 
available on the xslt20 branch 
<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/java/branches/xslt20/>, but since 
then nobdy has stepped forward to carry on that initial prototyping and 
the Xalan PMC hasn't put in place any plans for XSLT 2.0 support.

Thanks,

Henry
