Hi Mike,

I'd be very pleased to see some support for some kind of piped processing.

I would really to call web services from XSLT - and no, I don't mean the 
trivial ones that you can address with HTTP GET, I mean SOAP-style, with 
a proper XML query message.

Could the new xsl:document element be used for this - can it receive a 
return message? In which case, could it also be used to implement simple 
in-process piping?

Francis.
