Consider the string below:
dog = "scooby"
If this string were url encoded it's value would be:
dog%20%3D%20%22scooby%22
This encoding would be not be of much use if the output was *not* html.
However,
in html this is quite important, to do this using current xslt functions is
quite painfull,
and *extremely* slow.
I'm not quite sure what is meant by "where the URI-valued attributes are
[should be]
detected automatically?" I'm still a little new at this:) Only certain
stings need to be
url/html/javascript/etc encoded, the processor would not know which ones...
I've attached the 3 new functions I added, they're called like any, other fn
I need them
quickly and added them before I heard back about any extension functions:)
So I'm
sure they need to be moved...

Derek,
let's continue on the list since at least Philip Stuyck is interested.
What's an URL encoded value? A string like "%48%49%20"? Would such an
encoding be useful outside the html output method, where the URI-valued
attributes are [should be] detected automatically?
