Etienne,
It appears to be an ambitious thing you're attempting.
Have you thought about moving to another layer in the system, not
attempting this in Transformiix, which may not be up to the job?
Moving it back to a server or batch process you'd have all the
extension functions you needed, and/or XSLT 2.0/FXSL.
Alternatively, I wonder if the Adobe Viewer's support of Javascript
wouldn't allow you to push the calculations all the way out into the
SVG. (Note I'm not a scripting expert and have no idea how feasible
this is.) That would entail a dependency on the Adobe Viewer (or
another SVG engine that could handle the scripting) instead of a
dependency on Transformiix/Firefox. The SVG you generated would not
have the projection precalculated, but would calculate it itself.
Cheers,
Wendell

Indeed, I though I was getting there with FXSL until I hit this.

My output is ultimately SVG and as yet I haven't managed to get the
Adobe plug-in for SVG to work well in conjunction with XSL in IE.
