Re: [xsl] What's the best feature in XSLT 3?

And here's some really low-hanging fruit that we inexplicably failed to put in:

* @select attribute on xsl:when and xsl:otherwise (and perhaps xsl:if) as an 
alternative to a contained xsl:sequence instruction

* @as attribute on xsl:mode to define the return type of all template rules in 
that mode (good for documentation, good for type-checking of 
xsl:apply-templates)

While i was preparing for a course on XSLT 3 later this month, i
wondered whether other people would have favourite features that were
introduced in XSLT 3. I know i do.

What do you find most useful? Or like the best?
