  Well thanks Sean Treadway, he did the work.

  I didn't work on this. What is needed is basically to provide wrappers
for xsltApplyTemplates() from transform.c . This would require a little
of glue code to get the precomputed information from the template element
contained in your extension elements, some of the parameters obtained
in the callback for the extension will need to be passed too from python
when reentering the XSLT engine (trying to cache those in the bindings
glue layer is likely to generate trouble when recursing).
  I can't promise to work on this myself, maybe you or Sean can get this
to work, I would take patches and examples :-)
