Re: remote-xpath-queries

Unfortunately as far as I know libxslt is not thread safe. This is an 
unfortunate tradeoff as it was the GIL that made me OK with using 
libxslt in a multi-threaded environment in the first place. Hopefully 
this will be fixed in a future libxslt release. Once upon a time libxml 
wasn't thread safe either.
