and exslt extension which makes dynamic tree or value set, this part
is nearly impossible to stabilize w.r.t. memory allocation problems.

  limited by available memory, but the number of top level parameters
of xsltproc is limited to MAX_PARAMETERS = 64

  memory allocation error message reported by the standard error interface.
