Re: variable rtf as querystring in document uri

Hi David,

the rtf shown was indeed just an illustration, but can be very big.

Do you know where to get the exslt node-set extension? It is not in the
source-code provided by exslt.org (though it is said on the website).
Others have found this out too.

Greetings,

Rob
