No problem.  I started with Xalan's SQL extension.  I needed to call
stored procedures, so modified the extension.  Decided the stock SQL
extensions were massively overwraught.  Started over.  Ended up with a
very simple extension for just the few JDBC calls I use.  Essentially
just convenience wrappers for JDBC.  Then moved over to Saxon-8. 
Worked as-is.

The XSL extension mechanicism is really, really cool.  Simple and to
the point.  I was very impressed.
