Comment 1 for bug 412517

I was just told, that the -ext option enables the extension functions.

In fact, the stylesheet is processed correctly, now:

$ saxonb-xslt -ext:on -xsl:test.xsl -s:test.xml

In retrospect, I would ask, if this situation could be expressed more clearly in the manual page. Actually, it reads like:

    -ext: {[on] | [off]}
           Enable or disable the ability to invoke external Java functions
           from query files and stylesheets. Beware that enabling them is a
           potential security risk when processing untrusted files. Default:
           off.

But since I was trying to use a standard XSLT function (xsl:result-document), and not an arbitrary Java function, I didn't guess that this -ext option was the key to this problem.

Maybe a description near the top, like the following could help: "Some instructions like xsl:result-document require the -ext option to be enabled."

If that is not possible, at least the terminology should be unified: The error message complains about disabled "extension functions", while the manual page describes "external Java functions".

Thank you!
