No reason to move the implementation of the <style> task out of
ant.jar, the implementations of XSLTLiaison need to be separate, and
they are in optional.jar already, thus would end up in a different
classloader in your setup anyway.

Nobody, if you have one, remove it 8-)

How would I add xalan.jar and xml-apis.jar to the class loader named
trax?

Which would be: the AntClassLoader in style attaches itself to, err,
what?  We'd have trax, xalan and xslp for the three Liaison
implementations.  Let the user specify it?

OK, I make "trax" the parent.  Style loads the Liaison via
AntClassLoader named "trax" (as it is the parent class loader), it
will be found, <classpath> has been set to include xalan and xml-apis,
but these elements will not be found by the "trax" class loader, they
are in a child of this loader.

Does that mean we add the user specified classpath elements to the
named class loader to avoid delegation?
