Re: [xsl] How to retrieve global parameters names and their default values using Saxon?

[Abel Braaksma Online <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Just a belated follow up: thanks for your comments on this. We've got it 
working in a way, though there are still some challenges. Michael, I 
will ask new questions about this in the Saxon list (just didn't want to 
break this thread).

George, thanks for your recommendation. I am worried about the loading 
order and the conflict resolving, but not sure if that really is a 
problem after all. Yet, using the programming interface had my 
preference eventually.

Michael and Andrew: thanks again. Your programming solution is 
implemented and it looks rock solid now!

Cheers,
Abel
