FileMaker Pro uses Xalan (Xalan-C) as its built-in processor for XML imports and exports. That means you can use some EXSLT extensions in your import/export XSLT stylesheets. I find the nodeset-function particularly useful.

The time is right, lots more people are posting in blogs and stuff. I have started one on Agile Development in FileMaker, Lasso etc at http://blog.umbrellacollective.com . I’ve also just finished working on a FileMaker file that talks to BaseCamp over the BaseCamp API. I will probably release this at FM DevCON this next week in Phoenix.

No, you can’t. Not in FileMaker Pro. Only FileMaker Server has been upgraded to Xalan version 2.7.0 to support EXSLT functionality. Even FileMaker Pro 9 does not recognize EXSLT.
