Hi Frans,

i'm planning to add libxslt support in kdom, as we already
have a libxml based parsing backend. Transforming an xml
doc using xslt & kdom should be fairly easy to code, the
problems raise when we want to xslt transform an in-memory
kdom tree. That would need a full conversion to libxml
based memory structures - of course that's slow - but
AFAIK the WebCore people actually try the same, at the moment..

Though I haven't find any code about that on the web,
maybe someone else had more luck?

(Though I'm busy atm with exams, by the 20. Nov I should have time again...)
