This page summarizes the relationships among specifications, whether they are finished standards or drafts. Below, each title
links to the most recent version of a document.

Completed Work
W3C Recommendations have
been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other
W3C groups and interested parties, and are endorsed by the
Director as Web Standards. Learn more about the W3C Recommendation
Track.
Group Notes are not standards and do not
have the same level of W3C endorsement.

This document defines serialization of an instance of the data
model as defined in [XQuery 1.0 and
XPath 2.0 Data Model] into a sequence of octets. Serialization
is designed to be a component that can be used by other
specifications such as [XSL Transformations
(XSLT) Version 2.0] or [XQuery 1.0: An XML
Query Language].

A more recent draft may replace this Recommendation.
This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT
2.0, a language for transforming XML documents into other XML
documents.
XSLT 2.0 is a revised version of the XSLT 1.0 Recommendation
[XSLT 1.0] published on 16 November
1999.
XSLT 2.0 is designed to be used in conjunction with XPath
2.0, which is defined in [XPath 2.0].
XSLT shares the same data model as XPath 2.0, which is defined
in [Data Model], and it uses the
library of functions and operators defined in [Functions and Operators].
XSLT 2.0 also includes optional facilities to serialize the
results of a transformation, by means of an interface to the
serialization component described in [XSLT and XQuery
Serialization].
This document contains hyperlinks to specific sections
or definitions within other documents in this family of
specifications. These links are indicated visually by a
superscript identifying the target specification: for example
XP for XPath, DM for the XDM data model, FO for Functions and
Operators.

errata
This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT,
which is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML
documents.
XSLT is designed for use as part of XSL, which is a stylesheet
language for XML. In addition to XSLT, XSL includes an XML
vocabulary for specifying formatting. XSL specifies the styling of
an XML document by using XSLT to describe how the document is
transformed into another XML document that uses the formatting
vocabulary.
XSLT is also designed to be used independently of XSL. However,
XSLT is not intended as a completely general-purpose XML
transformation language. Rather it is designed primarily for the
kinds of transformations that are needed when XSLT is used as part
of XSL.

XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.0 (renamed from XQueryX 1.1 to align
with the family of "3.0" specifications) defines serialization of an
instance of XDM 3.0 into a sequence of octets. Important new
features in Serialization 3.0 include:
- Supports serialization of function items
- Adds a definition of a suppress-indentation serialization parameter
- Clarifies how minimized attributes, as well as the "script" and
"style" elements, are handled under the rules of the HTML output method

This document is a characterization of requirements and use cases for [XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.1]. The Requirements list enhancements requested over time that may be addressed in XSLT 2.1.

This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT
2.1, a language for transforming XML documents into other XML
documents. The main focus for enhancements in XSLT 2.1 is the requirement to enable streaming of source documents. This is needed when source documents become too large to hold in main memory, and also for applications where it is important to start delivering results before the entire source document is available.

Obsolete Specifications
These specifications have either been superseded by others,
or have been abandoned. They remain available for archival
purposes, but are not intended to be used.
