With or without xsl:script, exslt will succeed or fail as a community project. If it succeeds then community standards for other language mappings can too. If it fails, but java and javascript are blessed in the spec, then XSLT will suffer a possibly irreversible blow to its portability, and to the portability of related technologies. But hey, please don't feel that I'm trying to place the entire future of inter-platform processing on your shoulders or anything, Jeni :) Francis.
