Yea, to be clear, no argument on that part :-) Except I'm not really 
against DocBook, just XSLT ;-)

Hm... Except the EXSLT I mentioned below is 813, which is more recent, 
right?

Grr... What a mess.

OK, it's just silly that they have such a discrepancy... So I guess I'll 
go scream to the EXSLT devs to fix this. I know we've already mentioned 
it to them before, but really they have no excuse to continue to live 
with such a bug.

Other than that I'll just have to rewrite the xslt build support to 
allow different processors. Because that's also a silly omission.
