Re: [xsl] [ANN] Saxon 10.0 (today's other news..)

Thank you for the suggestions.

The stylesheets are currently 2.0 because they are also reused on the
client-side with Saxon-CE. Which means standard math: functions and
random-number-generator() are not available.
I will definitely want to upgrade them to 3.0, but waiting for
Saxon-JS 2.0 to do that.

Therefore I wanted to upgrade the Java dependency to Saxon 10 first,
hoping that the stylesheets would require little to no changes (I'm
implementing a couple of extension functions that used java: calls).

What would be the path of least resistance here? EXSLT is not
available despite documentation saying it should be?

What would be the parth
