RE: MSXML calling external object

Check the "msxsl:script" element in the SDK.
The IXSLProcessor::addObject() method documentation in the SDK
does not help much, but if you use the SDK search on "addObject"
you get an interesting sample at:

/"XML and XSL Samples"/"XML Code Examples"/
   ..."Code Examples in Microsoft JScript"/"XSLTemplate Examples"


Have fun,

**** Sample from the SDK: ****
* Passing Objects
** Passing an object in XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="..." xmlns:myObjNSPrefix="myObjURI">
...
<xsl:value-of select="myObjNSPrefix:someMethod()" />
<xsl:value-of select="myObjNSPrefix:get-someProperty()" />
...
<msxsl:script implements-prefix="foo">
   myObjNSPrefix.someMethod();
   myObjNSPrefix.someProperty = "bar";
<msxsl:script>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Passing an object in script:

function someMethod()
{
...
}

var myObj = new Object;
myObj.someMethod = someMethod;
myObj.someProperty = 123;

//...load XML, XSL, and create xslTemplate
var myProc = myTemplate.createProcessor();
myProc.input = xmldoc;
myProc.addObject(myObj, "myObjURI");
//...now do the transformation...
