Re: [xsl] Why are there no XSLT processors implemented in XSLT?

[Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt <STAMMW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Markus,

thanks for pointing out that <xsl:copy-of> is not (yet) implemented.

I tried with a modified stylesheet that uses <xsl:value-of> and that
works (ab2.xml).

Now I came back to the original plan to execute naxos.xsl "with itself".

I made naxos2.xsl a copy of naxos.xsl with a slight change:
It reads the document to work on by document() call.

Executing naxos2.xsl on ab4.xml which should execute naxos.xsl on
ab2.xml does not work ...


$ diff ../naxos.xsl ../naxos2.xsl
50c50
<                     <xsl:with-param name="document" select="/"/>
---
>                     <xsl:with-param name="document" select="document
(.)"/>
$
$ cat ab2.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="double2.xsl"?>
<a>1<b>2</b>3</a>
$
$ cat double2.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

Promising! Using enough cores, naxos will be faster than saxon. Sorry, Mr
Kay.

According to the documentation, copy-of is not yet implemented.
But naxos doesn't make use of copy-of !?

$ grep "<[^:]*:copy-of" naxos/*.xsl | wc -l
0
