  This 'prospective' thread is interesting. I will throw 2 more ideas
in the bag:
   - how useful/hard would it be to implement an Apache transformation
     module based directly on libxslt, I think I got this question a couple
     of time during the last week
   - would an extra function 
     xmlNodePtr xsltGetNodeResult(xmlStylesheetPtr style, xmlDocPtr doc,
                                  xmlNodePtr node);
     be useful, basically it would not run a full XSLT transformation but
     compute how the given node would be transformed (assuming it get
     processed directly by an xsl:apply-template rule).
