The Past: XSL

• In the beginning was XSL
• XSL became XSLT 1.0 and XSL(FO) 1.0
• XSLT 1.0 produced XPath 1.0

The present:

XSLT quite successful:

• 25 books, according to Amazon
• 9 implementation, according to me
• 122 messages a day on xsl-list (avg. on last 30 days)

The Future: XSLT 2.0

New requirements:

• More functionality
• Simplify the language
• Support for new W3C specs: XML Schema, XQuery
