[oXygen-user] xproc vs xslt

Hi,

after some (more or less successful) experiments with xproc I'm wondering 
if it wouldn't be better to implement everything in xslt and add the 
missing steps (for instance fop and schematron validation) as custom 
extension elements written in java.

My argumentation:
- Calling xslt from xproc you can only use string parameters (trying to 
fill in for instance a boolean parameter will result in conversion error)
- The integration of xslt into oxygen "feels" much more advanced than that 
of xproc.
- Direct output of messages from xslt (for debugging and logging with a 
link to the code that caused the output). (Running an xslt from xproc the 
xslt messages are not visible at all.)
- I will have to add some custom extension written in java anyway. (So 
learning how to do it will be necessary in both cases.)

Does anyone have more experience with xproc and could maybe add some 
arguments for or against xproc?

Thanks and regards,
