AFAIR, The .NET XslCompiledTransform XSLT processor does have a
runtime system -- a library of commonly needed functionality to run
the transformation.

Hi Folks,
Wikipedia describes "run-time system" like so [1]:
Every computer language implements some form
of runtime system, whether the language is a compiled
language or an interpreted language.
As a simple example of a basic runtime, the runtime
system of the C language is a particular set of instructions
inserted into the executable image by the compiler.
Among other things, these instructions manage the
processor stack, create space for local variables, and
copy function-call parameters onto the top of the stack.
The reason this behavior is part of the runtime, as opposed
to part of a keyword of the language, is that it is systematic,
maintaining the state of the stack throughout a program's
execution. The systematic behavior implements the execution
model of the language, as opposed to implementing semantics
that contribute to a particular computed result.
From that description, run-time doesn't seem to be pertinent to an XSLT
processor implemented using, say, Java. Those kinds of
execution-time-inserted instructions would be done by Java (or at a lower
level), I would think.
Does XSLT have a run-time system? If yes, would you give some intuitions
about what it contains please?
