I actually find this restriction quite useful as a reminder of the utility of maintaining a separation between presentation issues (what the XSLT stylesheet "does") and processing issues (in this case, what the XSLT processor - Saxon, your own script, whatever - does). It's a fine line, and I think XSLT 1.0 draws it very cleanly in this and in its generally limited ability to get at information not contained within either the Stylesheet or the XML file it's dealing with.
