RE: XSLT converts svg to shapes with basic transform handling.

[Sam Liddicott <sam liddicott com>]

I'll try and do that.

It's not pefect, I found I also need to scale the stroke width, luckily dia ignoes this for now.

Scaling paths is hard because there are so many delimiters of draw operations and coordinates and xslt was 
not written for parsing text.

So I concluded it would be better to just wait till dia more fully supports xslt, I.e. The workaround is more 
work than the fix.

I'm sorry I sat on this so long. I've added a page with your scripts and
example as well as your explanations.  If you or somebody else wants to
clean up the page, it's at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/SvgToShapeXslt.
