Re: The top 10 limitations of XSLT 1.0



A few that had not been mentioned so far:
- Tokenisation. Use cases: Parsing dates, ENTITIES attributes,
  comma separated lists etc.
  I think of an tokenise() function which results in a set
  of text nodes. Something along the lines of
  <xsl:value-of select="(tokenise(date,' ')[1]"/>
  or
  <xsl:for-each select="tokenise(formats,' ')">...
- More powerful search&replace facilities (not necessarily
  full regexp powered). Use case: Escaping quotes in strings to
  be used as JavaScript literals.
