[news.eclipse.webtools] Re: XSLT extensions

Indeed, it does work.  I had tried it, but gave up when ctrl-space 
didn't provide me the hint after typing a few characters.  I didn't 
realize the templates only come up if you hit ctrl-space before typing 
anything.  But this was because I had chosen "XML Tag" as my context. 
When I changed it to "All XML", it works much like content assist !!

The feature request for additional context types in XSL editor templates 
is 289498.
