Thanks for clarifying that you'll be working on these stylesheets
again, especially in light of Jirka's Google Summer of Code project.

I think your ideas about dropping normalization, segmenting the
stylesheets into discrete processing chunks rather than always
creating a massive, unified stylesheet, and potentially not seamlessly
handling DB4 are all prudent and justified. What I'd like to
understand is your current thinking on the top three goals of the
XSLT2 reimplementation itself. What are they?


Thanks,
Keith
