  Right make sense. It's a bit surprizing nobody raised that limitation
earlier (and sorry for taking so long to process it).

  Okay, applied and commited ! Thanks !

  In pure logic it's true, I remember I tried to share some of type conversion
initially, since the XSLt types are a superset of the XML/XPath ones. I
know we need more code on the xslt side, maybe it was incrementally added and
I didn't kept track. Sometime also it's about avoiding direct dependancies
between libxml2 and libxslt (especially when adding entry point).
