If xalan supports exslt tokenize function (which I think it does) you
don't need _any_ of the exslt stylesheets. The stylesheets (mainly) just
define template alternatives that approach the functionality of the
extension functions for systems that don't have them built in.

Typically a system that implements exslt functions implements them
directly in the language used to implement the processor (java or C or
whatever it is, java for xalan-j) and all a user needs to is declare the
namespace and use the function,. You don't need any files and don't need
to import any stylesheets.
