Re: [PHP-DEV] XSLT extension From: Andi Gutmans (andi <email protected>)

As I said I'm not an XSLT expert and if there is a good reason to have two
(each one is strong in its own area like databases differ) than it makes sense.
However, in general our goal is to unify things and make it easier for
people to share and exchange code. Also by making the group effort
concentrate on one extension instead of on two usually means that the final
result will be better.
I think that having one super XSLT extension is better than having two
mediocre ones. Let's try and aim for this goal. If there are good and valid
reasons not to do this, then we should go for two.
