And is > 1.1 backwards compatible to 1.0? I think you need to be pragmatic about this. The WG is concentrating its (very limited) resources on getting 1.1 finished and as good in quality as it can. Fixing problems in 1.0 is a task that's on the back burner and may never happen. If there are problems in interpreting the intent of the 1.0 spec, looking at what 1.1 says is often a good guide as to the WG's intentions, and as to the way that 1.0 would be fixed if/when the WG gets around to it. As for implementing new features in 1.1, that's a business decision for you to make. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
