Downsides:
1) Performance - functional languages are stil slower than
imperative languages, although the gap is closing.
And this is an issue for only some XSLT applications (perhaps a
fairly small minority).
2) Large scale program structure - OO programming seems to have the
advantage here.
Yet without being an OO engineer, I'd guess also that sound OO design
enforces the same kinds of discipline through encapsulation and other
techniques. While XSLT doesn't offer this, exactly, certainly one
could modularize a solution (which is effectively what Dimitre has done).
(As I noted in an earlier message, it would be interesting to see
what solutions to the latest running total problem could be achieved
without FXSL but using "plain" XSLT 2.0. In contrast, FXSL recommends
itself both by being demonstrably capable, and by being already there
for the using.)
