[x3d-public] Plans for proceeding with C/C++/C# specification and implementation; XSLT and Saxon

[John Carlson]

Don,   do you use NetBeans as an interactive step-by-step XSLT debugger?
It may be worth it for me to try a different stylesheet with NetBeans.

I’m guessing you use the GHD (got here debugger), mostly.  I’m looking for
more than that.

Thanks!
