Re: XPath parsing in XSLT (version 2.0)

Ofcourse, I think some form of parsing can be done in functional
languages. But can an *XPath 2.0* parser be written in XSLT 2.0?

I think the parser has to produce a parse tree. Can this be done with
XSLT 2.0? Producing a parse tree from grammar input requires lot of
state management, which could be difficult with XSLT 2.0..

Functional languages can parse just as well as imperative languages.
