I agree with "dismally inadequate" - the escape to a "scripting language" is provided as a way to perform unanticipated processing to meet specialist needs (hopefully the common stuff will be provided in core XSL). As such, the "scripting language" needs to be general purpose and powerful, including features programmers are now starting to take for granted such as exception handling, strong typing and inheritance. Although some will argue that using a language such as Java will discourage casual script writers which may be happier with EcmaScript, I suggest that it is important that a widely understood and implemented language such as Java be at least a scripting option: JVM's will soon be everywhere - why not use them?
