I consider separately the question of whether the XSL 1.1 WD should change to allow *only* <xsl:script language="qname-but-not-ncname"> instead of <xsl:script language="java | ecmascript | QName-but-not-NCName"> removing the two "shortcut/builtin" names. | The xsl:script construct makes no attempt to handle | multiple language bindings for the same functionality. It actually does. Please reread section 14.4 starting with the text: "If there are multiple xsl:script elements with the same namespace URI but different implementation languages, then each implementation language corresponds to an alternative implementation of the same extension functions." It has made an attempt to deal with multiple languages. Whether you like the approach it has taken is another matter entirely :-) ______________________________________________________________ Steve Muench, Lead XML Evangelist & Consulting Product Manager BC4J & XSQL Servlet Development Teams, Oracle Rep to XSL WG Author "Building Oracle XML Applications", O'Reilly http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/orxmlapp/
