On a Microsoft newsgroup (microsoft.public.xml.msxml-webrelease) the
following message was posted:

The XSLT Additional Functions are implemented:
- current()
- system-property() 
- format-number() 
- function-available() 
- element-available() 

I'll file a bug on their omission from the SDK.

The following are not:
- document() 
- key() 
- unparsed-entity-uri() 
- generate-id()

=================================================

Another Microsoft developer said that we should realize that this web
release is not yet feature-complete, and that they will be conformant with
the XSLT and XPath specs. We are encouraged to post comments on the
above-mentioned newsgroup! I think this would be a good idea, since they
really seem to intend to conform to the standards we're discussing here. And
they crave for our input. :-)

I already posted a wish list saying that they should implement calling named
templates, and the preceding-sibling, preceding, following-sibling, and
following Xpath axes. Whereupon Microsoft developer Jonathan Marsh asked me
which of these four I have the greatest need for, or are they all equally
important. What do you all think? Maybe the -sibling ones are more widely
used, e.g. in sorting/grouping?

Further investigation suggests that some format patterns work and others are
rejected, none are ignored as I suggested.
