It's nothing to do with numbers of iterations. Or, as Wikipedia puts it, "CORDIC is particularly well-suited for handheld calculators, an application for which cost (eg, chip gate count has to be minimised) is much more important than is speed." > If only Microsoft had already implemented XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.x, SVG, > XForms,... more efforts would have been saved... Microsoft isn't the only software company in the world. Or maybe you're referring to Internet Explorer? There's an open source XQuery plugin for IE, although I'm not sure how polished it is (search for xqib). That's XQuery rather than XSLT, but may stil be of use. Or you could write XSLT that generated JavaScript and executes it...?
