How can I generate a UUID with pure XSLT? Basically looking for a way to create unique sequences with XSLT. The sequence can be any length.
I’m using XSLT 2.0.

Since XSLT is a functional language, generating random numbers is not part of the language. That said, there are extension packages (EXSLT) and some processors (Saxon) that support generation of random numbers. If you can’t use extensions or Saxon, then I believe you’re out of luck.
