All,

as said in my previous message, discussion and efforts to get a solid 
maintenance
for the xslt extension has started on the Sablotron mailinglist, after 
Sterling's announcement.

There are currently two main issues that are pending:

Is it realistic to expect that other xslt processors will be integrated via 
the abstraction,
that Sterling has provided?

If not - this would raise whether the xslt_ namespace is correct (academic 
but still) and if so,
how would (Sablotron) processor specific functions be integrated? Would 
these register under:
xslt_sablot_* or would function xslt_*, which is only available for 
processor X, be a userland
issue, where xslt_backend() would provide the means to detect availibility?

The SXP interface in the Sablotron library provides DOM functions, which 
also allows creation
of DOM documents. Exposing those, would effectively create 2 extensions 
with equal functionality
and totally different approaches (ext/domxml and ext/xslt). Is this 
something we would want in
core (ereg vs. preg / recode vs. iconv / shm vs. shmop)?

<@Logan> I spent a minute looking at my own code by accident.
<@Logan> I was thinking "What the hell is this guy doing?"
