Yes, I am glad to say that as of a week or so ago, this is fixed. Lou and I have tested
it, and it seems OK. The ODD processing has had a fairly large set of changes,
coping with new <elementRef> etc elements, @exclude/@include on <moduleRef>,
and the @source facility on *Ref. You will suddenly have a lot more expressivity, at not
much cost.
the downside is that all this is only in the XSLT 2.0 stylesheets, which don't work with
Roma. I don't have a plan for how to cope, I am sorry to say:
choices
1 withdraw Roma from service
2 leave Roma frozen and old-style
3 reimplement all changes back in XSLT 1.0 as well (not a small task)
4 write a new Roma in Java
5 hack the old Roma to use a web service to do its transformation work (if we had a web service)
any preferences ?
