It is indeed a frequently asked question, but we don't seem to have an
FAQ yet. I'll be happy to start working one up, if you all can suggest
a couple more questions that have come up repeatedly (an FAQ with just
one Question and one Answer would look a bit silly).

In the meantime, I also can add a brief mention of this issue on the
"how to use xsltproc" section of the main libxslt web page.

Cheers,
