hey guys,
I'm sure its been mentioned before but....
Are there any plans to add the ability to add the ability specify an xpath
via a string? Something along the lines of:
<xsl:variable name="somepath">/foo[@bar =
'yes']/dingle/dangle</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="path($somepath)" />
It also seems to me that it would be worth while to have an equivilant
testing function:
<xsl:variable name="somepath">foo[@bar = 'yes']</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="test(., $somepath)" />
Just some random thoughts.
