I'm just writing an article that among other things contains examples
of "currying" and partial applications of functions in XSLT. Hope to
finish it this week, but the publishing process always takes some time.

Would you like me to send you a draft?

Integrated does not mean that Xselerator depends on FXSL. The idea is
to provide new (beta) releases of FXSL with every new release of
Xselerator. In this way an enormous user audience would be directly in
touch with the latest library. I am grateful to the developers of
Xselerator, who accepted this idea. Do you propose a better solution?

This is absolutely correct. A single person cannot do all this in time.
We need a more organised approach. Again, do you have something in
mind?

Cheers,
Dimitre.
