Re: Can func:function return a xsl:message with nodes inside the xsl:message?

Hi, Shaun

Thanks for your message. It may be a bug in Xalan, I am more interested to
learning the right behavior according to EXSLT specification. For example,
will the following code work? What kinds of xsl elements can be used in
this case. Spec says "It is an error if the instantiation of the template
results in the generation of result nodes"
[http://www.exslt.org/func/elements/function/index.html]

<func:function name="my:test">
  <xsl:param name="type"/>
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$type='A'">
  <func:result select="1"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="$type='B'">
  <func:result select="2"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:fallback>
    Error
    </xsl:fallback>
  </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</func:function>

This works in the libxslt implementation.  You should probably talk to
whoever implemented EXSLT functions in Xalan.
