Re: break or exit in xsl?

Thanks David for your comments..

I agree the XSLT processor is free to process nodes
(of the node-set corresponding to XPath in select
attribute) in whatever manner it seems fit (either
parallel or any way!). But in the end, the output
should reflect the document order..

So for the original poster, we can say, breaking out
of xsl:for-each loop would not fit into the processing
model of XSLT.. Probably thats why XSLT has'nt
provided this feature..
