My apologies. I saw your question, but then responding slipped my mind.
Your example uses an extension function. Would it be possible for you
to use an extension element instead? It would seem more natural to
want to get the element and its children in that context than in the
context of an extension function.
You are absolutely right. But in my case, where I am trying to follow
the specs of exslt.org, I need it to be in a function. The syntax for
"match" function can be found at
http://www.exslt.org/regexp/functions/match/index.html. If I am going to
implement this natively then I need the xslt code to be portable,
therefore it has to follow the specs.
I might be wrong. Please give me an advice.
John Gentilin has posted some utility functions [1,2] that help with
accessing and evaluating the children and attributes of an extension
element.
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Henry
