RELAX NG has no place in Microsoft's XML future? Shame. I much prefer RNG/RNC to XSD.

What's this "incremental parser with extensibility API based on LINQ to XML" mentioned here? I can't find it anywhere in the VS2008 Beta 2 documentation.

Apparently not anymore. Microsoft XML Team's WebLog : Chris Lovett Interview As for XSLT 2.0 - we’ve heard from customers and understand the improvements in XSLT 2.0 over XSLT 1.0, but right now we’re in the middle of a big...

While I agree that supporting all the standard in the industry is going to keep resources from innovating new technology, I think it's a wrong decision to skip XSLT 2.0.

I'm a big believer in XSLT (use the technology where it makes sense), but XSLT is a key component in achieving cross platform compatibility (because it allows transformation between schemas - a general requirement in the industry).

In many aspects, XLST 1.0 is simply not fit for the job and I really hope Microsoft is going to reconsider that decision.

Aside from that, I'm very happy with the stuff coming from the XML team :)

I've mentioned this elsewhere and in a post to the contact form for the XML team, maybe the InfoPath team needs to get involved. Adding XSLT 2.0 to the MSXML stack would immediately make InfoPath more powerful. I cringe every time I get asked how to calculate the difference between two dates in InfoPath. I also personally would love to be able to use XSLT 2.0 in SharePoint designer when working with the DataFormWebPart.
