Hopefully we can get beyond a name and on to the bigger issue - extending
the life of "xt" whatever it is called. It is getting increasingly hard to
"defend" XT. I think the efforts to formalize an open source notion behind
it is great and past due. My question is - who is using XT and are they
willing to help? For example, MacroMedia's Allaire organization uses XT in
their process of converting JSP code to Java classes. Has anyone
approached them to help in the ongoing support of XT? Since I use Jrun as
my preferred app server/servlet engine, I was forced to track which XT they
provided. [ sadly not too big a deal now since no new versions are coming
out ] But I wonder what other companies are doing with it from a
commercial standpoint. Since some features such as node-set aren't
universal, I'm happily stuck with XT as my XSLT engine as conversion to
other engines will not be straightforward.
Finally, with the XSLT message boards filling up with talk of XSLT 1.1,
something really needs to happen with XT, IMO, or the great effort by James
and us early adopters will fade away.
My vote? Call it openXT and move forward.
Cheers!
