Impressive!  I'm unclear, though, on the practicalities of how it replaces
xsltproc (which is an executable) - presumably there's a script that invokes
java?  In which case we have a TPP java dependency we didn't have before -
not that this is necessarily an insurmountable problem, and one we'll
probably have to address sooner than later anyway.
