Re: [xsl] Are there things missing in XSLT which force people to use, say, Java to process XML?

I know that there are good reasons, why these functions are not part of XSLT. 
On the other hand, these lack of functionality is a massive handicap within a 
lot of common tasks.

In all real-world projects I have seen the XSL transformation is only one step 
in a larger process that involves surrounding tasks. And I guess the number and 
type of such tasks is possibly infinite, if you start looking at the union of 
all projects instead of just your own. So, you'll never reach a point where all 
users would be satisfied... 

Given that, I rather have a tool that is very very good at what it is designed 
for. And build my own production environment around that as I need it.
