It's not java vs xslt, it's built in rather than not. (eg MSXML includes built in functions which are, I assume, written in C++, I don't know and don't care what they are written in, but if I call a function msxsl:xxx() Then i want to get microsofts version not some xslt approximation. However i may still want to define msxsl:xxx() as an xslt user defined function so the stylesheet will work elsewhere. If I wanted to be sure that my own function was used on all implementations including microsofts, i'd stick the function in a namespace starting http://www.nag.co.uk. > Though there are probably stylesheet author reasons why, say, > the exslt:something or other isn't quite right for him/her, then define your own function. But if you do that you shouldn't put it in the exslt namespace, so the issue of name clashes is moot.
