XSL Friends -
Today I write from the day job, where I am researching the question
of how can I go about producing random UUIDs, in dozens or hundreds,
inside an XSLT pipeline, without extension functions in Saxon.
Is that Saxon EE or HE? Or somewhere between :) ?
There are XSLT-based random number enerators around if the Functions &
Operators one using higher order functions isn't available. I think
most use generate-id() as a seed, or you could pass a seed as a
parameter (usually better for testing than using the time of day, for
example).
But i'm not sure i'm telling you anything not obvious :)
