alternately, you may find that some processors 'bend the rules a
little' eg. I think (I maybe wrong) basex for example may allow
lookbehind/lookahead.
unsure about the original reason to restrict regex, as it seems to
just confuse people when a regex they lovingly crafted elsewhere
doesn't work (not that the various java, Perl, etc schisms help).
I am all for upgrading regex expressions, feels like very low hanging
fruit to me.

Hi there,
I've been using XSLT/XPath for some time to find patterns in
(XML-based) XLIFF files, but now I'm going to need more complex
regexps (e.g. positive/negative lookaround/lookbehind/lookahead, aka
zero-width assertions, or non-capturing groups) and I see that they
are not supported.
My question is whether there are plans to support these advanced
features in the future. Does anyone know?
I know .NET or Perl regular expressions support that, but I would
rather stick to XSLT if I can. It makes my life much simpler.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Manuel Souto Pico
