I was neither suggesting that you do it alone, nor was I being  
completely serious. The exclamation points here are meant to be half- 
sarcastic "egging-you-on", because I know how you feel about it from  
previous discussions. I'm well aware of the work involved and that  
you do not have the time.

What I would "very much like" is to see a C/C++ XSLT 2 project begun,  
by you, by me, by someone, and this is a good place to discuss it.  
And I did say that there were willing code/funds contributors; I  
happen to know this because my employer retains both. I'll take the  
issue off the list with Kasimier and others.
