Last week some people at XMLEurope were asking me if there would be any reason to use FXSL with XSLT 2.0. Jeni has just explained it in a very nice way -- with XSLT 2.0 FXSL will be at least as important and necessary as with XSLT 1.0. It is going also to be faster (using sequences) and more compact (using xsl:function wrappers). And, of course, there's some important new functionality coming soon. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
