Responding to your off-list request for a progress report on this: we didn't get
round to revisiting it formally at the XSL WG meetings this week, but we will of
course do so. We did have some informal discussion on the topic. I think that
what you're asking for is essentially a mechanism for invoking web services from
XSLT code. We don't think that's part of the job of xsl:result-document, we
think it's essentially another kind of function call. Those members who were
present at the discussion seemed inclined to the view that the current mechanism
for extension function calls should be adequate to enable vendors to provide the
facility if they think there is a user demand, and that this kind of
implementation experience is desirable before trying to standardize anything.

However, this is informal feedback only and does not attempt to prejudge the
final response that the WG will provide. Please be aware that such final
responses can take weeks or months.
