In terms of functionality there is some overlap in the date-time, math
and string modules.
One goal is to ensure that where there is overlap the XSLTSL uses the
same API
(for portability of stylesheets). There is also significant difference
in functionality,
since XSLTSL is *not* an extension library (eg. XSLTSL cannot implement
nodeset
operators).
In terms of packaging they are quite different. To use EXSLT your
processor of
choice must implement the EXSLT extensions. However, XSLTSL is just a
bunch of XSL stylesheets, and so may be used by any conformant
processor.
In terms of interface they are also quite different, due to the
limitations of XSLT v1.0.
XSLTSL is defined in terms of named templates, whereas EXSLT defines
extension
functions. Future development will make use of XSLT 2.0 functions.
