  Right, it is.

  Well the doc is generated from xml.html and xslt.html and site.xsl
in both project. Patch welcome, yes. I would probably have to add other
well know issues like Namespace nodes having no parents.

  I used to point to non-closed bugs. As a result people were resubmitting
closed problems from older versions. I personally use the following:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxml&product=libxslt&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&emailreporter1=1&emailcc1=1&emaillongdesc1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailcc2=1&emaillongdesc2=1&changedin=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&short_desc=&short_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&bug_file_loc=&bug_file_loc_type=substring&status_whiteboard=&status_whiteboard_type=substring&keywords=&keywords_type=anywords&op_sys_details=&op_sys_details_type=substring&version_details=&version_details_type=substring&cmdtype=doit&newqueryname=&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&form_name=query

  Scary but works for me :-)
