XPath simplifies the development of content queries thereby reducing development time. XSLT delivers increased flexibility by enabling XML-tagged data to be re-used for multiple outputs such as pdf or html.

Support for the emerging standard SVG allows graphics to be created from data dynamically. Page building on the fly wherein content can determine page layout. Furthermore there is a new de-bugging tool and an improved user interface. (sz).
