Although I accept that the inclusion of an <xsl:make-bacon-sarnie
burnt-to-a-crisp="yes"/> instruction would make a lot of programmer's lives
a lot more pleasant, it is clear to me that the functional nature of XSLT is
highly unsuited to cooking, which requires procedural, contingent, and
thread-based operations.

There are already a lot of questions on this list where people assume or try
to force procedural-style progamming out of XSLT, and a set of cookery
instructions would simply aggravate the matter.

David,

Just a simple no? Please, as a guru on the matter, sustain in order to
understand why not. ;-)

Looking forward, Claudio.

No.

The abstract of http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt says what XSLT is intended to
be used for, cooking isn't mentioned. All the uses of XSLT that have
been mentioned in the threads you have started are clearly within the
scope of the language as defined there.
