I have split EXSLT 1.0 - Common into two documents: EXSLT 1.0 - Common: http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/exslt/common/ EXSLT 1.0 - Functions: http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/exslt/functions/ EXSLT 1.0 - Common describes the exsl:node-set() and exsl:object-type() functions. Are there any other common functions that it should hold? Should the more basic set and math functions be classed as common functions? EXSLT 1.0 - Functions describes extension elements for user-defined extension elements written in XSLT with EXSLT extensions. There are many open issues there, the two most important ones probably being: (a) whether it should adopt an extended XPath syntax along the lines of FXPath [see http://www.pantor.com/fxpath] (b) whether it should include a way of building up node sets with something along the lines of exsl:reference-of or exsl:result-set. I plan to revise EXSLT 1.0 - Math and EXSLT 1.0 - Sets so that they no longer include functions involving dynamic evaluation of strings as expressions, hopefully before the weekend.
