Subject: Does XSLT need min() & max()?

I've been trying to use XSL to format some XML data, and then to tranform it
into another view. The problem is essentially that I have columns of different
lengths, and need to work out the maximum column size required for the second
view.
I can't seem to achieve this at the moment (using LotusXSL 0.17.1). If you
could set variable values more than once (as apparently in SAXON), you could
work out the maximum in a loop and store it for use outside of the loop.
Now, what I want would be well served by a max() function, but feature-bloat is
the issue, I guess. Any recommendations? Does XSL need max() & min(), or does
it need <xsl:set-variable .../>, or should I just be calling out to some
JavaScript from inside LotusXSL? I would be grateful for any tips.
Cheers,
Tony.
