I'd like to propose adding extension objects to the style task. More
information about extension objects can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconXsltArgumentListForStylesheetParametersExtensionObjects.asp
The build file task would look like this:
<style style="style.xsl" in="in.xml" out="out.xml">
  <extensionobjects>
      <extensionobject namespaceuri="urn:CustomParser"
type="XsltExtensions.CustomParser" assembly="XsltExtensions.dll" />
  </extensionobjects>
</style>
I believe this should be part of core NAnt rather than NAntContrib, as
the style task already supports parameters via the internal use of an
XsltArgumentList. Extension objects are the other major feature of
argument lists, so incorporating them as well is a logical step.
The use of extension objects in place of script blocks also addresses
a known memory leak. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316775/ and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325689/#6 for details.
I've previously written code to to do this for the 0.84 code base and
would be glad to update it for use with 0.85. Please let me know what
you think.
 

Sounds good Tim. I assume that the custom extension classes must have a 
null paramater constructor for your code to be able to instantiate them 
and pass them to XslStylesheet. I wrote somthing similar as part of 
another  project. Please post the code and someone one will take a looks 
at it with a view to inclusion.
