Hi,



At 01:46 AM 10/2/2007, you wrote:
About my original advice, I really don't know if XSLT 1.1 has 
dropped the tedious RTF, but if they did, you can use the pipeline 
technique I presented tp make your overall matching process easier. 
Otherwise, just as with 1.0, you'll have to resort to node-set 
extension functions (which can get heavy).

IIRC, XSLT 1.1 included a node-set() function, so you still had to 
call a function explicitly, it's just that it wasn't an extension function.



Of course, since 1.1 was never approved, node-set() never became an 
XSLT function. Formally speaking, XSLT 1.1 isn't any sort of 
"standard". It's safer to regard it as a set of extensions, which 
overlap in functionality with proprietary and other non-proprietary 
extensions (EXSLT) and which may or may not happen to have been 
implemented in any given XSLT engine.



Cheers,
Wendell
