Chris,

Thanks, I reached that limit pretty early on! For the time being I 
have extracted a pure Java sub-set of GNU JAXP, which is enough for 
my immediate requirements.

Incidentally, the gnu.xml.dom.ImplementationSource class has an 
awkward dependency on gnu.xml.libxmlj.

I'll come back to libxmlj in due course, but I'd rather find an XSL 
solution that is truly portable (and GPL). I suppose the terms for 
James Clark's XT processor are incompatible with GPL? Must we have 
all copyright assigned to FSF?
