creating bightml using xslt stylesheets and saxon takes less than
10 minutes compared to over an hour using jade

creating chunked html takes about an hour using jade and about 5(!)
using saxon, but here gnome libxslt does the job within 20 minutes

for the print version i have no comparison values yet. it takes about
10 minutes to generate the xsl/foo, but i didn't manage to get apache
fot to create pdf from it and i do not know of any other open/free
fo processor :(   (ok, passiveTeX, but even its creator says its only
a proof of concept and not meant to by of any real use yet)

so we could gain a lot of speed by finaly switching from dsssl to xslt
at least for the html based formats (including txt, chm and palmdoc),
but ...

- configure & make are only aware of jade/openjade
   (i'm currently working on that one)

- xsl are not yet as customized as their dsssl counterparts
   - plain html is ok, as far as i can tell only the example source code
     rendering part needs some more work
   - phpweb html/php output isn't there at all yet :(
   - print: couldn't compare that to the current output due to
     fo problems

i'm sure there are people out there that have a better understanding
of both xsl,xslt & fo and the related tools than i have, so please
try to help or at least try to enlighten me ;)
