	The reason people don't use XSL for their shared servers is that  they 
CAN'T. Same applies for (DOM)XML (or PostgreSQL).
	I will stop the thread here, but you should understand that most PHP 
programmers are not C gurus like you guys are - and most of them does 
not know what "./configure" is. We have lots of clients (thousands) - 
PHP programmers - and they have real difficulties changing the php.ini 
settings, and probably it's a clear fact that PHP is mostly used by 
entry level programmers.

	Thinking like "they will recompile the PHP by themselves" is surely 
refreshing for the PHP5 build process, but it's not OK for us as this 
means that PHP5 will not be an XML ready platform by default.
	Looking at the php.general group, you will probably see that people are 
asking more and more for XML
