Re: [xsl] Filtering RSS feed with xsl based on presence of certain words in description

[ac <ac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If the keyword list could be used elsewhere, it should certainly be in a 
variable.

What would be the most performance efficient way to handle the case, in 
xslt2? 
Are there alternatives that would not offer as "equally bad" performance?
- Setting up key(s)?
- making keywords a space separated list so that a single "contains()" 
invocation is required on a "match"?

Thanks,
ac
