  As far as I can tell xmlsoft.org search engine indexes the mailing list
and does work.
  The answer to the same question for the Apple guys was xsltDocLoaderFunc
did you looked at it ?

  the libxml2 xmlSetExternalEntityLoader support was not sufficient
that's why we added 
    xsltDocLoaderFunc

http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/search.php?query=xsltDocLoaderFunc&submit=Search+...

  Read the doc and the mails pointed out by the query, especially the
full "XSLT and Safari" threads, they had exactly the same kind of problems.
