Re: [xsl] Daisy chaining XSLT and also how can I check whether the XSLT processor supports a specific extension (specifically, ext:node-set)?

I think in a previous thread it was stated that you use xsltproc to test
but in your product you have (probably) Xalan C++ 1.2. I am not going to
search the archives, perhaps I don't remember that right and it was a
different user although these days there is not much traffic.

Most XSLT processors (for 1.0 or later) are usually cross platform so
the lack of support of the MS prefix/namespace suggests it is not a
Microsoft processor (although at some stages I think other products like
Altova and/or XmlPrime also supported the MS namespace) but you can run
Xalan Java, Saxon 6.5 Java, Xalan C++, xsltproc/libxslt under Windows,
so I wouldn't conclude anything but use

 B  system-property('xsl:vendor')

and

 B  system-property('xsl:vendor-url')

to check.
