Hi Joe, I agree fully with you here. An apply() function is inherently easier to implement than an eval () in general. In my XSLT implementation the stylesheet gets compiled into a program where all the information about names of variables are gone. However, top level objects like templates and extension functions are accessible by name at runtime so an apply function would be a walk in the park. I'm not saying eval () isn't doable, it defentiely is, it just isn't as trivial as apply () is. And the idea to mix apply () and eval () behaviour seems like an overkill. If you need to dynamically specify pairs of paramter names and values on a lexical level, I think the way to go would be a plain exsl:eval (string) function.
