in bug #31633 I proposed a patch to one of the export filters.

      I've just committed it; sorry for delay.

      It's great to have you prodding at this piece of the code. One of the
sad things about the XSLT filters is that they require Java - yielding
not only a performance problem, but a nightmare for those without Java
installed. Perhaps this underlies some reluctance here too:

      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31624

      around associating with this file type by default (in case you have no
working Java).

      It would be simply wonderful to re-use the libxslt code (that we
already ship) for the XSLT filter. I wonder if you might be interested
in that ? if not - adding an easy hack to the wiki would be good [ and
pointing me at it so we can add some code pointers as to how to do
that ].


I think that's not possible, because some of the filters (like
WordprocessorML) use XSLT 2.0, which is not supported by libxslt (wasn't
supported the last time I looked, at least). So either we throw
out (or rewrite to XSLT 1.0) all XSLT 2.0 filters and declare that we
only support XSLT 1.0 or we're stuck with saxon (and java).
