RE: xsl processors turn off extension functions

Saxon provides this capability, but I don't know of any others.

You are right to highlight the importance of this feature. It's surprisingly
common to find sites that are prepared to execute untrusted stylesheets,
which can cause arbitrary havoc if extension functions are not disabled.
Even with extension functions disabled, there's a denial-of-service risk.

Subject: [xsl] xsl processors turn off extension functions

Anyone know of a resource giving details of different 
processors handling of
security for stylesheets containing extension functions, for 
example which
processors it is possible to turn off extension function 
support when calling an
individual stylesheet.

If not, what extra security functionality can you think of 
that various
processors you work with provide?
