No it actually lacks pretty much more than that. Most things are roughly
implemented but the devil is in the details. Controlling output is painful
(through xsl:output, disable-output-escaping and friends) and other things
don't work exactely as expected, leading to some teeth gnashing. There are
also a few bugs in the current release. However it is moving fast and I
think that it'll be stable soon enough.
The biggest problem imho that might not be solved too soon is that it's
string-in string-out, no support for SAX (from the Perl interface).
The performance is getting much better too, though I still get better
results piping through Saxon (haven't tried this in mod_perl though).
