Very nice...

This is quite annoying if we have to handle each of the XSLT implementations. 
It should be nice to specify a common architecture for managing some more 
processing/implmentation things. This common architecture sould be specified 
above the XSL/XSLT recommandations and it could look to something like that :

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
		xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
		xmlns:xslx="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Extension";>
  ...
  <xsl:template ...>
    ...
    <xslx:call name="writeTo"> 
      <xslx:param name="method" value="html"/>
      <xslx:param name="file" value="{concat($masterFile,'.html')}"/>
      <xsl:...>...
    </xslx:call>
    ...
  </xsl:template>
  ...
</xsl:stylesheet>

We just have to agree, for each functionnality, to a common set of names and 
parameters. I can't remember but was it possible to have multiple out with a 
DSSSL specification?


Does it make sense?
Pat.
