Sure, and libxslt, being written in C++, with a Python wrapper, is always 
likely to win on performance, without any extraordinary tricks in play.  As I 
mentioned, my comment was meant to discuss conformance.  I know of one 
conformance bug right now: a pretty obscure corner of namespace nodes which I 
should really just stop now and fix.  There might be others, but I'd like to 
know what they are.

I think conformance is pretty much granted, these days, in XSLT processors, so 
I wouldn't expect to pick one over the other for conformance reasons.
