I write an extension element in java with the saxon processor

I've got a problem, haven't I ?
Saxon uses its own interface, and xalan too... So I've got to
rewrite my extension according to the xalan interface.

I thought that XSLT 1.1 would provide independant interfaces
(in the same way that DOM does with the org.w3c.dom.*
package) in order to write portable code. Wouldn't it be more
simple and safe for user to have such a definition ?

Yes, it would be nice if there was a standard interface for doing this.

But the XSL WG decided that it was not their job, and no-one else has
volunteered.

Thanks very much, this is exactly what I expected !
a clear response like this :-)
