What does it mean that "the new OpenOffice 3" _has_ to use Saxon HE? - "new OOo 3": starting with which version? - "has to": legally? or just "will use", or "may use"...?
My understanding is "has to" because the version of Saxon that supports functions costs money, and I don't see OOo putting in anything that costs money.
If OOo stayed with saxon9.jar then any faults/improvements would not be addressed.

Temporary trees, imported stylesheets and modes ... though admittedly not nearly as convenient as "next-in-chain".
But using extensions at any time is risky. I underscore that in my class. I might start citing your predicament as another example of why. I have three public classes coming up in the next three months and I'll see what students have to say about the situation in which you find yourself.
