Title: Extending XSLT

Abstract

The XML transformation language XSLT has been designed to be extensible. This is rather unique as most other popular general purpose languages lack extensibility support. This talk provides a breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of XSLTs extensibility system. Two example extensions are demonstrated to illustrate the extensibility possiblities. Finally language extension in general and some related work is discussed to provide context information.
