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
