Depends. "Widely shared" seems to mean "shipped with the processor"; the EXPATH file utilities, for example, aren't practically distinct from "what you get with BaseX" or "what you get with Saxon". That's not how I think of a shared library; EXPATH seems more like a language extension. (a really USEFUL language extension!) I don't know of any actual shared libraries for XSLT; the package mechanism is new with XSLT 3 and not that widely used so far as I've seen. I wouldn't want to try to have an opinion on packaging for XSLT 4 because I've never used the existing package system. I'm pretty sure "widely shared function library" would require a lot more comfort with packages than currently exists. -- Graydon Saunders | graydonish@xxxxxxxxx ^fs oferiode, pisses swa mfg. -- Deor ("That passed, so may this.")
