Planning to upgrade XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, Part 5: Make your stylesheets work with any processor version
This article provides examples of stylesheets that are portable between versions 1.0 and 2.0, with special guidance for those who must run both 1.0 and 2.0 processors for a long transition period. The new 2.0 features might occur in the form of instruction elements, declaration elements, XPath operators, functions, or new attributes or children on elements that existed in 1.0. For each form of enhancement, only certain techniques apply. 		Articles 27 Feb 2007  
 
Planning to upgrade XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, Part 6: How to mix XSLT versions for a 2.0 processor
XSLT 1.0 anticipated future versions and made some provisions for them, but the advent of XSLT 2.0 really puts the compatibility features into practice. One feature that was greatly expanded from the original idea is the ability to set the XSLT version on every stylesheet element. This installment provides in-depth coverage of how you can apply Backwards Compatibility around those portions of your legacy code where an immediate upgrade is not feasible. It describes the 1.0-to-2.0 incompatibilities that local versioning will overcome (or not). 		Articles 17 Apr 2007  
 
Planning to upgrade XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, Part 7: Selection of XSLT 2.0 features and the 1.0 shortcomings they address
XSLT 2.0 introduces numerous new features, some of which are specifically designed to address XSLT 1.0 shortcomings. This article is an extension of the first article in the series, "Improvements in XSLT," which presented some of the most highly desirable XSLT 2.0 features. This article presents other enhancements in XSLT 2.0 in the areas of data organization, expansion in XPath expression syntax, parameter passing across templates, and string processing. You'll find examples for common applications of pure 1.0 syntax versus the replacement of the much simpler and more versatile 2.0 syntax. For concepts that are entirely new to XSLT 2.0, such as sequences and collations, this article shows how the concept might be useful for your existing XML transformation applications.

Planning to upgrade XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, Part 4: The toolkit for XSLT portability
If you are concerned with the adoption of XSLT 2.0 and what will happen to your legacy stylesheet code, this is the article you need. It focuses on those features of 2.0 that address cross-version compatibility with 1.0. It explains how 1.0 and 2.0 processors recognize XSLT instructions and the vendor's implementation-specific instructions (if any), distinguishing them from elements that should not be directives to the processor. The article includes a survey of all portability tools such as fallback, function availability tests, and the new use-when attribute. 		Articles 20 Feb 2007  
 
Planning to upgrade XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, Part 3: Why the transition requires planning
Part 1 of this series described some long-sought XSLT features that will be added to the new 2.0 version. Part 2 discussed different strategies for upgrading to 2.0, with the amount of advance planning being one of the main differentiators. This part is a deeper exploration of the changes you will need or want to perform as you upgrade. 		Articles 29 Nov 2006  
 
Planning to upgrade XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, Part 2: Five strategies for changing from XSLT 1.0 to 2.0
XSLT 2.0 has features that allow a gradual upgrade of 1.0 stylesheets. However, some situations call for an overhaul, so you can review and improve the whole architecture. Should you overhaul or try the gradual approach? This article presents some relevant design issues to help you decide. You also get some guidance on the organizational characteristics that indicate success or difficulty for each upgrade strategy. 		Articles 14 Nov 2006  
 
Planning to upgrade XSLT 1.0 to 2.0, Part 1: Improvements in XSLT
XSLT 2.0 introduces numerous new features, and some are specifically designed to address XSLT 1.0 shortcomings. Explore some of the most highly desirable features: grouping, Implicit Document Nodes, user-defined functions, date-time manipulation, Schema-awareness, and numerous output enhancements. The examples in this article provide common applications of pure 1.0 syntax versus the replacement of the much simpler and more versatile 2.0 syntax. 		Articles 12 Oct 2006
