Chunking is done with an extension function. For those
processors that support the EXSLT initiative
(www.exlt.org), they can use the exsl:document()
function. According to the Xalan C++ website
(http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/extensionslib.html#exslt),
there is alpha support for that function. But apparently
this test in the stylesheet fails:
<xsl:when test="element-available('exsl:document')">
So I guess alpha support doesn't cut it yet. 8^)
