I'm using Saxon for all XSLT work in the project apart from the pathway into

very much, so I need to support it. Unfortunately there appears to be no way
to change the XSL processor which Frame uses, we're stuck with Xalan.
No, but one can use a 1.0 identity transform with Xalan under Frame
and run the XSLT engine of your choice outside it to generate
whatever XML Frame wants.
Or a near-identity transform, if you can encapsulate things you
always have to worry about (such as output encoding or whatever) and
handle them there.
A potential downside to this would depend on who has to run the
transforms and what they have to install to do it. That might not be
a difference that makes a difference.
Cheers,
Wendell
