Howto Learn
It is hard to learn XSLT by reading the specification first. Zvon has a good tutorial for beginners. After that, you can take a look at the XSLT 2.0 recommendation. Bear in mind, that this recommendation is very new. Many XSLT processors don't support all the features of XSLT 2.0, so look at the section which lists the changes from version 1.0 to 2.0 if something does not work.
