Firstly, extension functions are product-dependent so it would be more appropriate to ask this on the Saxon list. In Saxon, I suggest you do <xsl:sequence select="foo:bar()"/> If the method is void, then the xsl:sequence returns an empty sequence, but Saxon (deliberately) doesn't look at the external method signature to determine in advance that it's void, so the function will actually be called. This approach also makes it much more likely that methods will be called in the expected order. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
