While I appreciate the EXSLT extensions in 2.4 D1, I think it unwise to omit the Xalan standard extensions from previous versions. Even if some of these functions are delegated to the same code, it creates a painful and ugly backwards compatibility situation which would result in a great many transformations breaking! A great example is the Xalan nodeset extension...I would strongly encourage support for the existing Xalan functions in addition to their EXSLT counterparts!
Any one else with an opinion on this? Rick Bullotta CTO Lighthammer Software (www.lighthammer.com)
