What's been done so far
New XSLT transformation service based on libxslt
Preferred transformation service configurable
Make MS XML 2003 filters work with XSLT exslt + some libxslt extension functions

What's cooking?
Move Saxon/Java based transformation to extension package (for rarely used XSLT 2.0 support)
Bug fixes (XSLT filter performance)
Further simplification (remove unsused DTD configuration, XML validation service, XML source viewer)

4. What do we do with XSLT filters?
General purpose import/export filter for complex file types (like MS Office XML 2003)? Barely
Quote James Clark from 1999:
Not for Everything
XSLT is not a general-purpose XML transformation language
XML can represent arbitrary data of arbitrary complexity
General-purpose XML transformation requires general-purpose programming language
Roll your own import to visualise XML data from some system you rolled your own? Yes.
