Hello Don,

this is great news ! we just got one more main XSLT processor to go
now.....some big company, cant quite remember their name ....

in any event, do u know if this effort is also being replicated for XALAN
C++ version ? did not see anything ...in that direction.

in any event, we will want to be clear with the announcement on the EXSLT
site.

cheers, jim fuller

Subject: [exslt] Xalan-Java adds EXLST extensions


>  I believe we have general agreement that Xalan should support the <a
href="
>  http://exslt.org/">EXSLT</a> initiative to provide a set of standard
>  extension functions and elements to XSLT users. Accordingly, I have just
>  added implementations for 12 EXSLT functions to the Xalan-Java repository
>  (some are calls to extension functions we already have in the Xalan
>  namespace). And I WELCOME and ENCOURAGE others to start adding other EXSLT
>  extension functions and elements.
> 
>  To quickly meet the goal of providing complete support for all the EXSLT
>  functions and elements, we need some volunteers. Please take a look at the
>  EXSLT list of functions and elements, and at the Xalan implementations
>  identified below. Then you can send email to xalan-dev@[...].org
>  identifying what you would like to add and raising any questions you have
>  about the implementation process. If you do not yet have commiter status,
>  please feel free to send your additions to me.
> 
>  The implementations are in the org.apache.xalan.lib package and are mapped
>  to EXSLT namespaces as indicated below:
> 
>  1. The  http://exslt.org/common namespace maps to
>  org.apache.xalan.lib.ExsltCommon, which includes
>            node-set()  (calls existing Xalan extension function)
>            object-type()
> 
>  2.  The http://exslt.org/sets namespace maps to
>  org.apache.xalan.lib.ExsltSets, which includes
>           difference()   (calls existing Xalan extension function)
>           intersection()   (calls existing Xalan extension function)
>           distinct()   (calls existing Xalan extension function)
>           leading()
>           trailing()
>           has-same-node()
> 
>  3. The http://exslt.org/math namespace maps to
>  org.apache.xalan.lib.ExsltMath, which includes
>          min()
>          max()
>          highest()
>          lowest()
> 
>  Note: The EXSLT namespaces are registered in
>  org.apache.xalan.extensions.ExtensionsTable. To handle functions that
>  include a dash in their name, I have added a routine in
>  org.apache.xalan.extensions.MethodResolver that maps abc_xyz to abcXyz.
>  Accordingly the implementation of has-same-node() in ExsltMath is actually
>  named hasSameNode().
