Re: How to call an XSLT function whose name isn't know

Well, you can turn the function name into a function object using
fn:function-lookup(), and then invoke it using dynamic function invocation,
but one wonders why you are using function names as distinct from function
objects in the first place. Where do these strings like "move" come from? It
looks like a situation that's crying out for proper use of higher-order
functions.

i.e., invoke f:move(...). Is there a way for XSLT to call a function whose
name isn't known till run-time?
