If you are satisfied with XMLmind XSL Utility (xslutil; 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/xsl_utility.html), I don't see any 
reason to migrate to xxeconvert. (Good old saying: "if it ain't broke, 
don't fix it".)

However please note that:

1) xslutil in its command-line mode 
(www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/index.html) is 
NOT officially supported on headless servers. It may or may not run, for 
all your use cases, on a headless server. We don't know. We have never 
tested this.

2) The same could be said for xxetool, XXE v9 command-line tool.

3) Unlike xxetool, xxeconvert, which is XXE v10 command-line conversion 
tool, is guaranteed to run on headless servers. That is, if a conversion 
fails with a java.awt.HeadlessException, simply report this as a bug and 
we will fix it.
