In the case of node-set(), however, it is just about the commonest extension function out there (most processors have a version of it), so (given you have to mind your namespace bindings and all that) it's still quite portable. Also, its functionality will be built into XSLT/XPath 2.0, which also mitigates the problem of application-dependency over the longer term (not that there won't be adjustments to make).

ok. so I'll be able to build a tree in 2.0 also. but you had said that it would be transparent. do you feel that vendors of 2.0 will still support node-set() usage? (I guess we can ask michael kay about saxon, at least).


also, leaving aside compatibility issues, what do you think about constructing a tree within one xslt vs. having a 2-step transform?
