That may be. But my disgust is at seeing an extension function written when there is an existing standard in place that covers the functionality. To illustrate, saxon:parse ($string-value) provides the same functionality as doc (concat ("data:application/xml", ';base64,', base64Binary($string-value))) or doc (concat ("data:application/xml,", encode-for-iri($string-value))) Now I've written it down, perhaps I can see the explanation for saxon:parse after all - base64Binary and encode-for-iri weren't available prior to XSLT 2.0. But either of these would have been a more generally useful extension function than parse. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
