Counter-examples are easy enough: xsl:variable, xsl:param, xsl:key, ... XSLT has both imperative and declarative keywords. > That's one vote for exsl:result (Uche) and one vote for exsl:return > (you). Any other opinions? I prefer xsl:result precisely because it isn't imperative, but I should note that though Mike's argument for exsl:return is flawed, that I could not give a non-flawed argument for exsl:result. It's probably just a amatter of personal preference, and not something over which I'd lose sleep. -- Uche Ogbuji Principal Consultant uche.ogbuji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1 303 583 9900 x 101 Fourthought, Inc. http://Fourthought.com 4735 East Walnut St, Ste.
