Subject: Re: [xsl] Separating XSLT 1 and 2 help? From: Mulberry Technologies List Owner <xsl-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:06:58 -0500 |
Lately I've been thinking (more and more) that it would IMO be a good idea to separate XSLT 1 and XSLT 2 help on this list host, something like adding a second list xslt2-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, where specific XSLT 2 questions could be asked.
I agree that it is helpful to know if a question is specifically about XSLT 2, and in the future when there is more XSLT 2 it will be helpful to know if a question is specifically about XSLT 1. (My opinion is that XSLT 1.0 will not be replaced by XSLT 2.0 in the near future, and that we will continue to see discussions of both for quite a while).
So, I will add a note to the XSL-List guidelines suggesting that people specify the version of XSLT in their questions if they know or care.
I disagree with the suggestion that they be separate lists. Many XSLT questions are generic to XSLT (how many discussions have we had about variables, and push versus pull? a new version of XSLT will not affect basics like this at all). And many people - especially newcomers - don't know what version of XSLT or of XPath they are using or that there are (or is it will be?) more than one.
Just as I don't see a benefit in separating discussion of XSLT and XSL-FO (many FO questions have XSLT solutions) I don't think there is a net gain is separating discussions of XSLT and/or XPath 1.0 and 2.0.
(OH - and no, we at Mulberry have no plans to start an XQuery list, although we will be happy to announce one if someone else does.)
