I'm Apache, Linux, Java mostly. I worked on a project with Cocoon at the 
start of the year. I turn to the book all the time. A few days ago I was 
fighting with xsl:sort and loosing. I looked it up in the index and 
found that my error was a common one, fixed it and all was better :-)



It just touches on Cocoon. Look elsewhere if you want a book on that.
  and then get a copy of his book anyway :-)

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.
