I'll take care of that.

I found an issue the other day and reported it as a bug.

I'm happy with LibXSLT. I think it's much more than good enough to use.
I could never do anything like that. It's very fast. Although I've found
that depending on algorithm and input size (contrived examples,
however), Saxon 9 may be significantly faster.

Anyway, for Perl, Python and PHP, there is only LibXSLT and Sablotron.
And maybe Xalan-C++.

As to bug reports and bugfixes, we'll see.
