[xsl] Functional programming in XSLT: use cases

[Alexey Gokhberg <alexei at bluewin dot ch>]

Dear colleagues

Over this weekend, I was studiyng various use cases for my FXSLT
proposal. The results are grouped in the following two categories:

1. DSSSL-like node-set operations

This is a library of extension functions written in FXSLT, which
implements a node-set algebra similar to one defined by DSSSL - the
great predecessor of XSL. The text of this library is available at

http://www.unicorn-enterprises.com/polygon/fxslt-dsssl.txt

2. EXSLT sample functions

This is a library of extension functions written in FXSLT, which
re-implements all EXSLT sample extension functions from the appendix 'B'
of "User-Defined Extension Functions in XSLT", Edition 25-Feb-2001 (see
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/exslt/common/exslt-common-010225.html).
I intentionally use the older edition of EXSLT specification, since it
provides more material for demonstrating FXSLT lambda objects.

The text of this library is available at

Comments and suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
