Huh?!

You can't write a JAXP impl for XSLT because it is only for XML parsers not XSLT
engines.

You are thinking of TRaX not JAXP...

TRaX is for libxslt but I don't know if there is an impl.

It isn't a big deal.  I could write a TRaX impl in like 5 minutes.

Actually the Xalan impl has TRaX under BSD license (Free Software just not
copyleft).

This is one of the good things about the Jakarta project.  While it isn't
Copyleft it is still Free Software.

. . . . . . . The Clinton administration would like the Federal government 
to have the capability to read any international or domestic computer 
communications. The FBI wants access to decode, digest, and discuss 
financial transactions, personal e-mail, and proprietary information sent 
abroad -- all in the name of national security.

. . . . This proposed policy raises obvious concerns about Americans' privacy,
in addition to tampering with the competitive advantage that our U.S. software
companies currently enjoy in the field of encryption technology. Not only would
Big Brother be looming over the shoulders of international cyber-surfers, but
the administration threatens to render our state-of-the-art computer software
engineers obsolete and unemployed.  - John (Hypocrite) Ashcroft - Circa 1990s
