So people are clear - while xsltproc and libxml are being developed
under the GNOME umbrella, they are not GNOME-specific. In fact, KDE is
using them now for document processing as well. (In fact, KDE was
first to use them for document processing.) To make this possible,
Daniel Veillard, their author, added some backward compatibility so
libxslt can be used to process DocBook sgml documents, even though
they are not XML.
