if JAXP is intentionally supporting only an abstraction of XSLT great!
if JAXP is abstract enough to allow users to plug-in transformers that implement
 XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, or some XSLTsubset, or some other syntax for XML transformation
stylesheets, so much the better for JAXP users  and so much the better for
XML 'cause its too important  to be held hostage by a bunch of freakin' geniuses at W3C.
