Microsoft .NET/XSLT developers' tool -- revoked?

While it does a wonderful job in Xml instance generation/xsd validation, as you rightly pointed out; what I was expecting was an XSLT output from Biztalk mapper--
the way it had always been in previous Biztalk XML tools since year 2000 (Even Biztalk 2004 Beta had this feature.)
With growing .NET/XML/XSLT interoperability, as demonstated by "Dare Obasanjo" of Microsoft Corporation in his exciting articles:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e....asp?frame=true and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...asp?frame=true, It was natural to expect a bit better XSLT/C# integration inBT 2004 mapper tool.
To my surprise, It almost appears that XSLT generation has been taken out altogether from that tool!
Are Microsoft XML/XSLT developers in "microsoft.public.biztalk.tools", supposed to use XmlSpy /Mapforce 2004)?? -- I don't imagine this is what BT 2004 designers had really intended.

| When you validate the map, the output window should give you a link to the XSLT file it generates. I have used this in the release version. Also, when you test a map, you get a link in the output window to the generated document from the map.
I think that is what you were looking for in your first post.
Also, you can use the scripting functoid to do inline XSLT right in your map or you can create your own XSLT file and just link to it from the properties window for the map grid.
In the next release of Visual Studio the xslt creation will be much improved with support for debugging your xslt.
