Steve Ball
has announced the XSLT Standard
Library, a SourceForge hosted open source project to develop a "collection
of commonly-used templates written purely in XSLT".
The initial
release (0.1) available on the project site comes with two libraries with
templates to process strings and datetimes, placing the XSLT Standard Library well
ahead of the XSLlib
announced more than one year ago that seems deeply idle since end of May 2000.
XSLTSL insists
on engineering standards that include indentation, naming, DocBook documentation
and test suites:
In order to maintain a
high engineering standard, all modules and contributions to the xsltsl project
must adhere to the following coding and documentation standards. Submissions
which do not meet (or exceed) this standard will not be accepted.
Contributions
(meeting these standards and published under a LGPL license) are welcome.
