Re: [xsl] Does XSLT have a run-time system?

Does XSLT have a run-time system? If yes, would you give some intuitions 
about what it contains please?


The language doesn't have a run-time system, but every implementation I know of 
does.

You could theoretically compile the language to machine code, with no run-time 
library even to handle common tasks like sorting, but no-one would ever dream 
of doing that.

In practice the distribution of functionality between generated code and called 
library routines is likely to vary greatly from one implementation to another.
