Hi Dimitre, >> To avoid confusion and argument, let's call it "XSLT with EXSL >> extensions". My question was whether Kevin objected to extension >> functions in any language (e.g. Java, Perl) or only to extension >> functions in "XSLT with EXSL extensions". > > Confusion will be avoided -- no confusion would exist there in the > first place in case "XSLT" was not in the name. So, why just don't > remove "XSLT" from the name? I think we're talking at cross purposes about what we're naming here. I was talking about the language used to define a function - when you define a function in the scheme that I put together in the draft document, then the content of exsl:function doesn't *just* include extension elements. The language that is used to define the function involves XSLT elements like xsl:variable as well as extension elements like exsl:function and exsl:return. So the language that the function is defined in can be said to be 'XSLT with EXSL extensions'. I now think that you're talking about a name for the EXSL extensions as a set of extension elements. I was just calling those EXSL extensions in my head. Perhaps it would be better to call it simply EXSLT 1.0? So the draft contains the definition/description of EXSLT 1.0. The language used to define the functions is a combination of XSLT 1.0 and EXSLT 1.0. Is that the kind of thing you were after? > Did anyone of the implementors call the set of their extension > functions like this (e.g. "XSLT with Saxon extensions")? No, but likewise I wouldn't say that my stylesheet that uses Saxon extensions was written "in Saxon". I'd say it was written in XSLT with Saxon extensions.
