What can I say?  I took it as an XSLT question arising from a confusion
over CDATA in the stylesheet vs. CDATA in the output, so that's what I
tried to explain.  This type of question has arisen here before, and there
are situations where javascript does have to be generated within the
stylesheet.

Having said that, referencing an external javascript file holding functions
that are called with varying parameters from different places within a site
is undoubtedly the cleaner design in this (and many) cases.
