I agree on that -- I do not like solutions which depend on any specific
browser like IE, therefore Javascript is not an option.

I also changed my first impression on that the PERL solution is not
"pure XSLT" -- the perl script is just a web service like any other
web service, and it generates XML documents which can be consumed by
a stylesheet, so for me this is fine.

The only real restriction for browser XML/XSLT seems to be that any
document() access is bound to the domain of those documents ...


I will investigate FXSL (the XSLT 1.0 version because of browser
support) being named as a pure XSLT solution in another email later ...

With IE and MSXML you can use JScript or VBScript using the msxsl:script
extension element. However as far as I am aware other browsers (Mozilla,
Opera, Safari) do not offer any such feature so saying "usually you may
access javascript" does not really describe it.
