Additionally, more and more APIs are using XPath outside of XSL/T. To include it as part of Xalan forces users to get an entire jar to do that. Additionally, based on Scott's reaction ;-), he wouldn't add in support for XPath on JDOM. That's another reason. Still, I think users that know XPath would love to do: Element specific = root.getChild("foo/@bar='1'"); Not having to carry around XSL/T weight to do this is a major advantage, and prepares us for the APIs that use XPath outside of just transformations. -Brett > > -- > Stefano Mazzocchi One must still have chaos in oneself to be > able to give birth to a dancing star. > Friedrich Nietzsche > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > Missed us in Orlando?
