You have your analogy exactly backwards. XSLT is not and should never be a general purpose programming language. It is a language for describing XML transformations, much like SQL, is a language for describing database queries. As such, there is no problem for people escaping into XSLT from inside Java. However, it is just bad engineering to do it the other way around. Just about every database company would cry foul play if a proprietary language (like Java) were allowed to be embedded in SQL.... In the same way, xsl:script, which allows embedding Java (and other languages) in XSLT is a very bad idea. Clark XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
