The W3C is an industrial consortium where vendors band together to agree on things (with some controls to ensure that the interests of the wider Web community are taken into consideration). In this respect it does not seem to me to be any different from OASIS. Would you be satisfied if language bindings in Appendix C moved into a separate W3C spec (with it's own namespace URI) and the syntax for the language attribute on xsl:script changed from language = "ecmascript" | "javascript" | "java" | qname-but-not-ncname into simply language = qname-but-not-ncname ? If there were no administrative overhead in progressing W3C specs, I think I would favor that approach. > If people need to band together to standardize exceptions, they can > do so without xsl:script. Yes, they could, but xsl:script makes it easier. The job of xsl:script is simply to provide a way to use a namespace URI to determine: 1. The code to be called by an extension function 2. How to call that code (ie the language-binding) This is a job that is completely language independendent and it is something that has to be done by any implementation of XSLT extension functions. In my view this makes the XSLT spec the right place to specify xsl:script. With xsl:script, all that is required for standardizing extensions is to specify the language binding like Appendix C does; it is not necessary to invent any XML syntax to do the job that xsl:script is doing.
