>From section 14: "XSLT allow two kinds of extensions, extension elements and extension functions". Since adding data-types extends XSLT, this sentence implies that vendors may not do this. I admit that my argument is inconclusive--the spec just doesn't seem to resolve this question clearly either way. This would be a good candidate for WG debate and insertion into the errata. ~Andy -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mhkay@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 4:23 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Vendor-specific data-types XPath says (section 1) that the value of an expression may be "of additional types not specified here". Beyond that, I can only fall back on the defense that everything is allowed unless the spec prohibits it; and it doesn't prohibit vendor-defined data types.
