Re: [xsl] passing template names

["Dimitre Novatchev" <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

What you call "dynamic templates" are actually higher-order functions.
Fortunately, extensions are not necessary.

Do have a look at the articles on the FXSL page (http://fxsl.sf.net)
where the general solution to this problem for XSLT 1.0 is presented.

Also, most of their contents is also presented in:

   http://www.mulberrytech.com/Extreme/Proceedings/xslfo-pdf/2003/Novatchev0
1/EML2003Novatchev01.pdf

At the forthcoming Extreme Markup Languages 2006 next month in
Montreal I will present the solution for XSLT 2.0 -- for those who
could not attend the conference a link will be posted on the FXSL page
when the IDEALLIANCE conference publications page is updated with this
year's articles.
