Thanks, Mark for pointing out FXSL.
XSLT is a functional language and this is a big topic. This is how I explain the lack of responses to the OP -- a good reply could be to write a book on this topic. Therefore, I would recommend a good (probably Haskell-based) book on functional programming. The best explanation of FXSL is in the two papers presented at the Extreme Markup Languages Conference (2003, 2006) -- especially the latter, which covers FXSL 2 (for XSLT 2.0): http://www.idealliance.org/papers/extreme/proceedings/xslfo-pdf/2006/Novatchev01/EML2006Novatchev01.pdf
Learning functional programming gives people a broader thinking framework and problem understanding, frees them from the unconscious limitations accumulated in the course of the historically incorrect approach towards education of computer programming. -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play On 2/16/07, M.
