Subject: Re: [xsl] Content negotiation in XSLT From: Richard Light <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:37:03 +0100 |
Can XSLT 2.0 do content negotiation? Looking at the Linking Open Data work, it seems to me that it would be useful if XSLT processors could specify in the document() function that what they want is, for example, application/rdf+xml. Then they could be served the RDF version of a Semantic Web resource, rather than the HTML "human-readable" version.
The specification very carefully avoids saying anything about how the processor takes a URI and fetches a resource. It's completely processor-dependent. Many XSLT processors provide basic facilities within the product, and allow callbacks to user-provided hooks (URIResolver in JAXP) if you want to do anything more elaborate.
You're welcome to use query parameters on the URI if you want to pass extra information about what's required.
