Yep. Also, we don't encourage it, but you can add text/xsl to the recognized
types. You can do this only if you're invoking the processor from Python rather
than using the 4xslt command-line tool. To do it, do

# import the Processor module
from Ft.Xml.Xslt import Processor

# modify the module-level constant XSLT_IMT before
# instantiating the Processor class
Processor.XSLT_IMT.append('text/xsl')
proc = Processor.Processor()

# proceed as normal with the processor instance
# ...


And as you already discovered, you should direct your 4Suite questions to the
general 4suite mailing list.
