Re: XSLT2 - which parts solve real 1.0 problems, which makes coffee? - w
Hmmm... One more significant feature:
a reference to a node can now be expressed/passed/manipulated as an item
in an xsl:sequence.
So, an xsl:function can produce a reference to a node -- not the copy of the
node as was with using templates in XSLT 1.0
