Extension functions may cause side effects. xsl:script only offers a standard mechanism for binding extension function names to implementations, it doesn't change what an extension function can do. > The XSLT Rec ought to at least mention this as an issue. I thought it did (Mike Kay's book certainly does) but I just had a quick look and didn't spot anything explicit. But either way this is an issue already in XSL 1.0 not with xsl:script.
