  Hum, may I suggest to first complete the Level 3 DOM support before
adding new API which are not really at that level ? For example 
Level 3 Load and Save should not be too hard:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-3-ASLS-20011025/

  I'm not sure about the Abstract Schemas Object Model this may be
a lot of work, but Load and Save sounds really important.

  Concerning XSLT proper, there is no DOM API at that level, well nothing
that I know. Not sure whether "inventing" an API is really a good idea.
On the other hand I understand that it would be nice to be able to use
gdome and libxslt together.

  Any accurate documentation is a good idea ;-)
