WebKit currently applies XSLT to a serialization of the pre-build XML DOM. As such, we have several bugs relating to cases where that serialization is not the same as the data received off the wire. >> Also, we can't expect to stay at XPath 1.0 forever. > > > Actually, I see this situation as similar to XHTML 2.0.

Mozilla has its own XSLT 1.0 implementation that is not complete. I don't think that's a great comparison. We would need to pull an "off the shelf" implementation of XPath and XSLT 2.0. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
