Hello Blaine,

EXSLT is undergoing some transformation at the moment, so pls bear with
us whilst we are revamping existing distro.

I would suggest that you simply send your amended template with
appropraite subject line to EXSLT manager list (or this list) at some
point we will decide upon all the changes/amendments/bug fixes that
people have submitted.

many thx, Jim Fuller
