Yes, I'm aware of that. The thought was not expressed clearly.

The problem with this approach is that the XSLT author must
identify each and every implementation possibility, rather than
referencing a opaque handle which can be registered seperately 
as a catalogue or delegative RDDL mechanism that provides for a 
complete alternation of language options.
