Dr. Kay is the author of "XSLT Programmer's Reference" from Wrox Press, the XSLT reference standard. He is also the editor of the W3C's XSLT 2.0 specification, which is currently a Last Call Working Draft, and his Java-based Saxon XSLT and XQuery processors are two of the most successful and popular processors in the languages' histories.
