Hi Francis, > But since you picked it up on this thread, while I'm don't think it > answered the original challenge, you've certainly earned a "milk > chocolate or plain?" Oh no - I don't want that accolade, firstly because I don't think it stands in the way of what you originally proposed: > Here is a small but concrete proposal: > > [1] extend the xsl:script definition to specifically permit "xslt" > as a value of the language attribute. > [2] specify a binding to Mike Kay's *function and return elements* > [1], but in the XSLT namespace, with behaviour exactly as in Saxon - > ie it would transparently return any data type supported by XPath, > now or future, or an RTF which could be converted implicitly to a > node-set in standard XSLT 1.1 style. (my emphasis) - if we use something like saxon:function and saxon:return then we're absolutely fine. It's only if we try to coopt xsl:template into service that we run into (a few) problems, but it's still worthwhile to come up with a concrete proposal, either for inclusion in xsl:script (if user-defined extension functions eventually get supported in XSLT 1.1) or for just anywhere (if dynamic introspection is somehow introduced instead). If we try it out with a few well-intentioned implementers, then we'll be in good stead come XSLT 2.0 ("2.6 Should Allow Authoring Extension Functions in XSLT"). I want that 'should' to be 'will' - having good experience will hopefully help to convince the WG. And secondly because the hobnobs would ruin my figure.
