[xsl] Re: xslt used for anything wacky?

["Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know what is to be considered "wacky".

Probably in the context of XSLT all these (normal with FXSL) are wacky:

  -  numerical differentiation.

  -  numerical integration.

  -  Monte-Carlo integration, using random numbers generated in pure XSLT.

  -  Solving equations of one real variable using the Newton - Raphston
method.

  -  Spelling checking (e.g. generating all alternatives for a misspelled
word).

  -  Text justification.

But I consider the following two much more wacky:

  -  Controlled and reliable execution of extension functions with side
effect (a Monad Class implementation, in Beta)

  -  Implementation of lazy evaluation (proof of concept).
