[Exist-development] My apology

[Dan M. <dan...@gm...>]

I believe I owe the eXist developer's group an apology.  I have not done a
good job of communicating our design ideas and I hope I did not upset
members of the team.  I will attempt to do better in the future.  And you
have my sincere apology.

My intent was not to imply that I had made any decision for the group, only
for our pilot documentation project.  The decision to migrate away from XSLT
to typeswitch-style XQuery for all the transforms is really my own personal
opinion and may may be rejected by the group if the architecture does not
stand on its own merits after the pilot is complete.  I will take personal
responsibility to complete our architectural evaluation process and present
the options to the group in a clear way with detailed analysis of the pros
and cons of the options. Others on this list have already provided good
input to these pro/con arguments.

OK, now I must get back to writing my new test document: "A Beginner's Guide
to Typeswitch Transforms with XQuery". :-O
