RE: [xsl] Saxon6.0.2: user written extensions

["Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, it's possible to write user-written extension functions (in Java) using
releases of Saxon well before 6.0.2, see the extensibility.html file for
details. But it's a very old release, please don't expect any help. But I do
think you would find it worth your while to use a newer release.
