Well it is a good idea to keep it small I'd like to see xsl become all pervasive even to handheld devices as well as to mainframe database apps. As long as the extension mechanism is well defined and standard across all xslt 2.0 implementations then things like trig functions can be added as needed. What are the timescales for another document from the xslt working group? Ciao Chris XML/XSL Portal http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
