No its not. There are plenty of examples in the archive. I've been on this
list for about 15 months now, and, along with most of the "old-timers", I am
much more willing to provide answers to those questions that interest me -
i.e. ones I don't know the answer to immediately. People who are new to XSLT
should search the archive first, and read the spec on the w3c site. XSLT is
unusual in that most of the providers of software seem to be sticking to the
specification, so the w3c spec is actually worth the paper it is written on.

There are currently 150+ mails a day to this list; no one (with the possible
exception of Mike Kay *grin*) has time to go through all of the mails, and
so questions which prove that the sender has done little or no research on
his own tend to clutter the list, and are generally ignored.

Then wait until it is a finished language, and come in a year or so behind
everyone else...

Mike Kay's book is published by Wrox. Wrox books are nice because they have
all of the sample code available from their website. So, buy Mike's book and
download the source from the website, and you won't have to do any typing.

* Have you read the spec? It has examples, you know...

* Mike Kay's book is the most comprehensive text around.

* Microsoft's SDK is one of the best references; searchable, indexed and, on
the whole, fairly accurate.

* Search the archive.
