This would certainly be on our review list for Viewer 7.0. Is there any specific use-case or motivation from your perspective to moving to XSL 3.0?

Hi Neil,

The main reasons would be the new map data-type defined in xsl 3.0/xpath 3.1, and the associated serialization functions from/to json : fn:xml-to-json and fn:json-to-xml.

As E.V. seems to rely more and more on javascript, this would simplify both native stylesheets and i18n handling.

Jean-Marie.
