OK, my use case is I need to take URIs and generate platform-specific file
paths from them. I want to do this in XSLT to avoid dependencies on
extension functions. For example, I am generating Ant scripts that require
filenames (must support Ant pre 1.8) and thus I have to be able to unescape
URIs.
I'm not sure I understand why the unescaping process is controversial--I
think the rules for escaping and thus unescaping are clear.
In the case of a % not followed by either another % or two digits, you have
a badly-formed escaped URI and must throw an exception. But I need to review
the relevant URI specs before I proceed. I cannot claim any particular
expertise in URI details at the moment.
Cheers,
E.

Hi,
Poking about it looks like there is no built-in XSLT mechanism for
unescaping. The last message on this list is Mike Kay's from 2006
saying "We [the XSLT WG] decided it couldn't provide a complete
solution."
Is this still true?
Yes and no. Yes this is still not supported, and no, latest Mike's
email on that subject is from 20 Nov 2009 ;-)
