Well, using the DOM library in PHP, there really is nothing that you can't do that XSLT 2.0 can do, anything from regExp and grouping to lots of stuff that xSLT 2.0 in itself can't (and shouldn't) do. I once did an inverse XSLT framework where program-flow was done through XML and XSLT, and program execution was extensions, and it works quite fast, too, even though it may not be the best way to go about things. :) > I suppose that even if the above is an easy task that doing something > like enforcing side-effects free usage of the extensions would be > basically impossible (especially given the aforementioned pragmatism > of php and that side-effects are allowed in extensions) Well, you probably can't guarantee that, no, but with a bit of smart OO in the PHP layer I'm sure you can write interfaces and taxonomies that guarantee it through *those* classes. But I reckon it's smarter to just go Saxon (even with that PHP <-> Java bridge) as it truly kicks ass.
