Sure, and libxslt, being written in C++, with a Python wrapper, is always
likely to win on performance, without any extraordinary tricks in play. As I
mentioned, my comment was meant to discuss conformance. I know of one
conformance bug right now: a pretty obscure corner of namespace nodes which I
should really just stop now and fix. There might be others, but I'd like to
know what they are.
I think conformance is pretty much granted, these days, in XSLT processors, so
I wouldn't expect to pick one over the other for conformance reasons.
