Well I have not said that XSLT specification does not allow for 
extension elements, only that MSXML does not allow you to implement your 
own.
And that article does not in any way claim or show otherwise. Instead it 
shows in more details what we already talked about, extension functions 
implemented with msxsl:script and extension object passed in with addObject.

I have not used that put stuff so I currently don't know whether it 
works with some versions of MSXML. Might try later.
