Hello I've got some questions about element/instruction extensions in the specification of XSLT 2.0. The definition concerning the data mapping between XPath types and java/ecmascript... types, described in the version 1.1 has disappeared. Same thing for the definition of the XSLTContext interface... Moreover, the specification uses the "implementation-defined" term severals times in the chapter 18. So my questions are : - if I want to write an extension function, I have to read implementation documentation, and use the provided interfaces/objects... But there is a good chance that 2 implementations define 2 kinds of interface for the same purpose. Then, is it right to say that my java (or python or C) extension developped with a specific processor wouldn't work with another processor ? I thought the main goal of XSLT 1.1 was portability ! So I don't understand... - the xsl:script has been banished. well ! but, how does the processor make the link between the QName of the function and its implementation ? For one function, if I provide two implementations (for instance java and javascript), which one will be chosen ? - wich document may describe the old appendice C (ie type conversion) ? Will it be implementation-defined ? thanks in advance for any response -- Frédéric Laurent http://www.opikanoba.org XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
