Can someone recommend a decent XML book or books?

I've been asked to have a look at XML and XSLT, and the book they gave 
me is Wrox's _Professional XML_ (first edition, I believe).

I googled for that on newsgroups and found both positive and negative 
comments; however, it seems that one major downside is that it is out 
of date (it was published in 2000).

I'm not sure whether I need to know XML in the context of Java or MSXML 
or anything in particular.

Since I'm generally of the opinion "No-one was ever fired for buying 
O'Reilly" (though even their books are not universally good, I'm told), 
I'm considering recommending the company purchase the XML CD bookshelf 
( http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/xmlcdbksf/ ) since that seems decent 
value for money (certainly cheaper than all the dead tree versions 
together).

Has anyone got experiences with this or other books? Any 
recommendations or warnings?

Cheers,
Philip
