Sure, but what about distributing extension functions that do things
like returning the current date or working out whether a directory
exists on the file system? Things that can't be done with EXSLT?

Or is your position that such things should only be allowable through
(community-based or implementer-based) extension functions?

Cheers,

Jeni
