In the first example, the callout numbers have gone slightly awry.

Oops. Fixed. Thanks, Ed.

So, short of implementing an ESB or something of that nature, what uses do you see for XProc?

I've been reading some of these entries with a detached interest. Interest, because it's novel, and I can see how the pieces will work in a non-abstract way. Detached, because none of the problems I face day-to-day seem well-suited for XProc.

Accordingly, I'm wondering if I'm missing something, if there are avenues I haven't considered where XProc will be very valuable in the sorts of work I do.

So, back to the question: what uses do you imagine for XProc?

Re: Geoffrey Wiseman

"So, short of implementing an ESB or something of that nature, what uses do you see for XProc?"

I am quite interested it XProc personally because my job is intimately related to series of XML transformations with custom logic (currently in Java, mostly http calls to web services) in between. Our platform is currently a very expensive SOA/ESB product that we've never been quite happy with.

Norm, when do expect that you'll make the source available? I've been waiting to get my hands on an implementation. I looked at yax (yax.sf.net) but I need to get my hands on the source to really evaluate it, and so far yax has only release binaries (and not since Feb).

Do you expect that you'll release the source to your implementation sometime in the near future?

Geoffrey, does the about pipelines link near the top of this essay help at all?

Yes, Chris, "real soon now" :-)

I'm pushing it through the appropriate internal channels as fast as I can.

Great. Just nice to know it's coming "soon" ;)

Anyway, I really think it will really drive interest in the standard to have a decent (and active) implementation.
