Broken support is worse than no support.

If they are broken anyway, what would be the point with that?

Do I see a mention of XSLT there? I wouldn't want to touch that with a
three-metre pole wearing double rubber gloves. Reminds me of a certain
other MS-funded XSLT-based "converter" project. And their BSD license blurb
even has the same silly misuse of the term "the regents" (a clueless
leftover from "The Regents of the University of California").
