[oXygen-user] Custom action to process a document and update an element?

[Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex]

+1

And this suggestion kind of compensates your recent d-o-e proposal on 
xsl-list ;)

(I didn’t even read the post in full because “d-o-e” is a kind of 
stopword for me, similar to “XSLT 1.0”, “CDATA”, or “named entity”.)

Sorry fellow oXygenists for taking this off-topic. And Wendell, I hope 
you don’t mind a little teasing.
