Apologies. I haven't used exslt before. I am mainly interested now  
because I was hoping for some way to bridge the differences between  
XQuery processors for the things common to all, usually named the  
same, but exist in a different namespace (also, I guess I am thinking  
of the web enabled XML database implementations, so maybe this isn't  
the right place?).

I haven't seen this until just now, but it is along the lines of what  
I was thinking:

best,
