RE: [xsl] Can Saxon be made to understand Xalan extensions?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can't make Saxon understand Xalan extensions, but you can use the Saxon
equivalent.

In Saxon 8.x you can use the XSLT 2.0 standard feature xsl:result-document,
so in fact you don't even need a Saxon extension.
