That is my point about it being a stop-gap measure -- it will be a while
until XSLT is a general purpose transformation language. Maybe it will
never be. Good design takes time, and is interlocked with other standards.
It's better for us to limit the ability of XSLT while we develop good
designs for things like the document() function, grouping, etc. Extensions
also allow vendors and users to prototype ideas, and then have the WG learn
from them.

Don't make it necessary to use extensions; as soon as
XSLT is a general-purpose transformation-language for
XML, including all needs described by developers, the
need will decrease to a minimum.
