Thanks for info. Need to look into these. Any recommendations for manuals/tutorials for 2.0 version apart from Michael's one ( XSLT Programmer's Reference), which is already in my mind. I mean just to give a kick start.

I think we are now desperate to move to 2.0 because of its features/flexibility to handle the xml documents. We have lots of XML workflows where we are using XSLT for transformations but lil bit afraid of just moving to XSLT 2.0 at once. I was personally keeping an eye on development of version 2.0 and if I am correct, its still in the development phase. This is one the major reason of not implementing it across the shop floor in one go and test it prior to feel the ease.

Thanks for comments and suggestions.

XSLT 2.0 was made a recommendation by the W3C in January, so you'd be incorrect in assuming that it is still in development.

I would always recommend taking any new technology slowly, but XSLT has given significant time to just this issue and has various features for ensuring backward compatibility and easing the upgrade process.

Michael's book also covers all these issues (upgrading) and offers various strategies for doing so. There is a new version out soon which combines both XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 into one book, and updates it to encompass any changes since the original books were published and the recommendation was published.

I think I will go for Gestalt (which I unfortunately never tested), although AltovaXml looks to be pretty good but alas it is compatible for Windows version and I am on MAC.

Thanks anyway.
