  Ah, okay. Well an xsltStylesheetPtr is a compiled form of a stylesheet
(with the include and import, etc... sorted out).
  Then each transformation builds an xsltTransformContextPtr which is the
set of data used at run-time by a single transformation. It's created
by xsltNewTransformContext() using a precompiled stylesheet and a parsed
XML document to be used as the instance for the transformation.

  I tried to describe libxslt processing, this should help :-)
