I'm rather +1 on that, lets say +0.82 or some such ;-)
Pros:
- this is definitely useful.
Not-Really-Cons:
- setting them all up will be a bit costly and generally useless: we need
some configurability.
- munging CGI params is imho not such a good idea. 1.5.1 has the
functionality to only pass that info to Apache::AxKit::Language::* processors
(that functionality is also available as a patch against 1.4). The way this
works is really simple: you can set $r->pnotes('extra_xslt_params') to either
and arrayref or hashref (in which case the contents will be added -- be
cautious that arrays with an odd number of elements will give your XSLT
trouble as that happened prior to current CVS with multi-values) or you can
provide a coderef that will be called with $r, $cgi, and the arrayref of
params to be passed to the stylesheet. Modify that arrayref in place so that
the XSLT will see it.
The latter part of this (coderef) is imho a cleaner approach and it makes
it really easy to make things flexible (just throw it some simple code that
changes an array, and you're done).
AxKit::Plugin::DisableXSLTParams already makes use of some of that
functionality.
