public class ExpressionVisitor
extends XPathVisitor

When StylesheetHandler creates an XPath, the ExpressionVisitor visits the XPath expression. For any extension functions it encounters, it instructs StylesheetRoot to register the extension namespace. This mechanism is required to locate extension functions that may be embedded within an expression.
