  Well, this is quite sad.. From a independent developer standpoint, I
  understand James C. somewhat, but if the goal is to have this as a test
  bed for refining the specs then necessary disclaimers should bave been
  communicated, I think it should be published at the
  least and users expectations should have been set correctly. I don't see
  any difference, whether it is open source or paid for source, once
  it is out in the public use (free or otherwise), ownership and
  accountability needs to be there..
  I would be hesitant to touch the next test bed software JC writes for
  his next invention and teases the public with it. Nuf said..

  Regards,

Based on James Clark's reponse at:
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/archive/msg13317.html

I'm deeply concerned that XT's creator doesn't have much interest in the
installed base of his product, which has been immortalized in code and in
print too deeply to switch out easily.

I've recommended XT as a 'preferred' processor as long as it's been out
there, largely because it was ahead of the competition for so long. That
success seems like a great thing to continue, not something to drop so
easily.

A lot of people, myself included, have spent a lot of time reading the
code, and switching to a different processor is going to mean starting over
on realizing some of the benefits of open-source development.

This is remarkably frustrating, to say the least.

(I'm no longer on XSL-List, or I would have posted there.)
