extension elements

This may be the wrong place to ask but...

Is there a way to place extension elements in the XML document and get
them executed during the XSL processing?  Or do I need to create a
taglibrary to do that?

I have a number of extension elements that do things like get the system
time, etc.  I would like to be able to place the extension elementes
directly in the XML and have it evaluated in the XSL.

--- xml document --

<document>
	<xenos:time zone="GMT"/>
</document>

--- end of document --

The only thing I can think of to do is to define a tag and in the XSL
execute the xenos:time tag.

<document>
	<time zone="GMT"/>
</document>

---- XSL

<xsl:template match="time">
<xenos:time>
	<xsl:attribute name="zone"><xsl:value-of
select="@zone"/></xsl:attribute>
</xenos:time>
</xsl:template>

Hello Claude
I am using xsl extension element within xsl documents.
I do not think you may place extension elements in the xml document.

If you could tell us more about what are your needs we may help you.

Regards

Victor
