Response to: Real Reflection ?
Well, first of all reflection is only reflection, and not necessarily includes on-the-fly code generation. Anyway some sort of such is available via dyn:evaluate EXSLT extension function, which allows to evaluate dynamically generated XPath expressions, but AFAIK XSL WG decided not to include such functionality to XSLT/XPath 2.0 edition to keep XSLT strongly compiled language.

  University is far away from my memory now, but AFAIK reflection is the ability for a language to evaluate itself. Doesn't this imply evaluation of dynamical
  constructs ?
