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.
