Re: Any work on an xproc implementation in XSLT?

My personal oppinion ... <snip/>
Is that if a useful subset of xproc could be implemented purely in xslt then 
there'd be no point in xproc.
However that said, I'm implementing xproc as a converter to xmlsh 
(www.xmlsh.org) which if I applied
the same logic I wouldnt do :)
So there you go ...
