Will lxml ever support XSL/T 2.0 (which achieved recommendation status 15 years ago)? Thanks. -- Bob Kline https://www.rksystems.com mailto:bkline@rksystems.com

lxml itself will never implement that. But if someone finds an implementation of XSLT 2.0 that lxml can integrate with, then there's a chance that it can be supported at some point. OTOH, passing XML to an external XSLT 2.0 engine as serialised data instead of an in-memory tree probably isn't that bad as an alternative, and trivial to integrate on user side. So the pressure probably isn't all that strong. Stefan

Thanks, good to know. Bob

Probably true for simple use cases. I'm less confident about how easy it would be to implement callbacks for custom functions. VD, Bob
