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

[Wendell Piez]

Gerrit, you leave a misimpression that I suggested the OP use d-o-e,
when in fact I was holding my nose when I copied that bit of his code.
(I copied the code with one hand while I held my nose with the other.)
I even offered that he should perhaps consider using a character map
instead. I guess you missed that part. :-P

I actually don't think d-o-e is always evil. Just usually. Maybe
always in XSLT 2.0. But it is sometimes useful to commandeer the XSLT
serializer to produce non-XML outputs even with method="xml", and in
1.0 ... maybe a case of one evil begetting another?

Plus, didn't you like my innovative and elegant use of
for-each-group[@group-by='true()'] to avoid a redundant tree traversal
into the descendants he wanted to collect?

Back to oXygen -- let's see what George has to say about my impossible
feature request (some way to "modify" an original file with XSLT). I
am not above using the debugger, as a stopgap, to accomplish the same
end (running a transformation and replacing an original with its
transformation result).

Cheers, Wendell
