Yes, but I'd be the first to say "the more, the merrier".

I should also note that probably later this year, there will be a new XSLT 
processor for Python, anyway.  We have a proof-of-concept on a 
compile-to-python processor that simply screams, and we plan to work on it 
once we release 4Suite 1.0 and then take care of some business obligations.

4XSLT will move into PyXML as a respectable and very complete processor (if of 
mediocre performance), and the "next-gen" 4XSLT (to be renamed) will be 
developed in 4Suite 1.1.
