When will xslt 2.0 be finished

I really want to start developing in xslt 2.0 but I have been hearing t开发者_JAVA百科hat xslt 2.0 is not supported in browsers yet. Is there an expected date that xslt 2.0 will be done and when will it be supported in browsers?

XSLT 2.0 is already finished:

W3C recommendation

But it seems like support is rather lacking.

Wikipedia says:

XSLT is developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The most recent version is XSLT 2.0[4], which reached W3C recommendation status on 23 January 2007. As of 2010, however, XSLT 1.0[5] is still widely used, as there are no products that support XSLT 2.0 running in the browser, nor on some important server environments such as LAMP.

XSLT and XPath 2.0 are more than three years old by now, so "they are done". There are various implementations. As for support in browsers, that is lacking and I have not heard that any of the major browser implementers are planning to support it. So doing XSLT 2.0 is certainly possible, client-side XSLT 2.0 is not possible.

Michael Kay from Saxonica is working on a client-side implementation of XSLT 2, implemented in Java and translated to Javascript with GWT. Keep an eye on http://saxonica.com

The same will happen with XQuery, over at: http://mxquery.org/
