Regarding level of interest for Transquery, I'm sure the level would be high
among people who like XSL-T, which I've noticed there's a lot of people on
message boards who hate it(personally I think the XSL-T 1.1/2.0 will resolve
a lot of dislike of the language because of built-in nodeset functionality
and xsl:document). However I think a lot of those people won't be really
happy about XML Query either. One of the things that we'd be doing is making
the learning/adoption of XSL-T by the programming community at large a more
attractive proposition. Non-knowledgeable people are still likely to dismiss
XSL-T as only functioning to transform XML to HTML (at least here in
Danmark), this, along with such technologies as schematron, would provide a
good slam to that argument.

Subject: [transquery-discuss] Welcome
Welcome everyone to the transquery-discuss list where we'll explore the
possibility of an OASIS Technical Committee for TransQuery. The required 7
days have passed since list creation, so the discussion officially begins
now. This is a temporary public discussion list which will shut down 90 days
after it was created. A proposal for a TransQuery TC may result from the
discussion on this list.
All of the following are in scope for this list and are expected to be
discussed:
- What TransQuery is and what problems it intends to solve
- How much interest there is in it
- How it fits with the mission and scope of OASIS
- What the charter of an OASIS TC would be (mission, scope, deliverable,
etc.)
- How a TransQuery TC's work would relate to current W3C work, especially
that of the XSL and XML Query Working Groups
Please feel free to ask questions pertaining to any of the above topics in
order to get discussion rolling.
Archives for this list are publicly available at
