Hi Roger,

I am very disappointed.  This means that it's possible to input from a
Web service (using document()), but it is not possible to output to a
Web service.  In my mind, I see this as a major inconsistency between
the input capability and the output capability.  Does anyone know of
what is planned for XSLT 2.0?  I believe that there will be a built-in
output element, correct?  Will it be able to do an HTTP POST to any
consumer of XML (such as a Web service)?  /Roger

I guess this is one bit of what the REST debate over on xml-dev is about - if we confine our use of Web Services to URL-type parameter lists then we can use document() for queries or updates. But clearly that's not what people use XSLT for - if it was, we'd all be asking for "text" as the default value for xsl:output/@method, wouldn't we?

So let's hope we get an output option which is compatible with those Web Services which require a POST rather than a mere GET.

Francis.
