DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: xsltproc and tablecolumns.extension (was Re: Noframes around tables - how to activate Saxon extensions for Norman Walsh's XSL1.48?)

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com> was heard to say:
|   I am supposed to discuss the status of those extensions and lib(e)xslt
| with Norm next week. Having a list an description of those extensions
| could be really useful :-)

Yeah, I can provide that :-)

|   Depending on your platform and requirement and the kind of extension
| functions it may be doable to write them as Python extensions,
|     http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/python.html

I sure hope so.

| but if they get required for DocBook processing I would prefer to keep them
| at the C level for maximum availability.

Yeah, that's a good point, too.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
