[xsl] Re: Over the years, have you created an XSLT library?

["Roger L Costello costello@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

The lack of response leads me to conclude that developers do not create their
own XSLT libraries. In other programming languages it is common to create a
continually expanding grab-bag of functions, utilities, and small programs
that may be used over and over from project to project. What makes XSLT
different? What is it about XSLT that makes the development of a library an
unattractive investment? Must every XSLT program be one-off?

Hi Folks,

Over the years, as you've written many XSLT programs, have you created a
library of user-defined functions?

If yes, then I have two questions for you:

1. What functions in your library do you find yourself using most often?

2. As your library gets richer and richer, do you find that it takes you less
and less time to write new XSLT programs?
