Transformiix has been donated to Mozilla. Nevertheless I can live
reasonably well without the namespace axis and node-set(), but it's
a pain that many transformations which work well on other processors
are dead slow. I wish someone built a pluggable interface to libxml2
(for validation) and libxslt. Of course the memory management and
threading problems are somewhat discouraging, beside the need to
work around GPL (read: no direct linking).
