I didn't make myself clear at all. I was not envisaging an XSL engine have
the input filter inbuilt any more than I would expect it to have all the
output filters inbuilt. What I was more thinking about is the ability to
specify not only a URI identifying the non-XML output format but a URI
identifying the non-XML input format.
