The new cocoon v2 is just coming (is it out?).  It is a vast improvement 
over v1 (no PIs).  I doubt there will be any good books out on it yet.  
The best bet is at apache.org (I have only browsed, but looks good) or 
if there is a cocoon mailing list.

for those of us who live without MS, i.e. no IIS, no IEx, no Windows 
OS, etc.

For example, how well does it cover Cocoon?

I don't see how anyone working with XSLT could do without this book.

Why don't you ask Mike himself! He subscribes to this list ;)



Given that Michael also created a java parser (SAXON) and works for

Software AG (which is not affiliated with Microsoft) I would say that 
it

would have been safe to assume that it would be OS agnostic.



And it is - at least the first version which I have.

I'm thinking of buying the book.  I'm wondering, from those who already
have, whether it has an MS tilt or is entirely OS agnostic.
