Hi, If with Saxon the interface to defining a filter is such that one can easily set parameters to be passed in to the stylesheet at transformation time then the lack of xforms:repeat becomes less of an issue because filters can be written to generate XForms inputs, and the processor can determine how often to repeat something by a user chosen parameter. It is obviously still far from optimal but it is a partial solution.
