I'm all for this.  What I would like to see then in xml.xpath and
xml.xslt is smart import logic similar that in the default xml.

So, if a user tries to import xml.xslt.processor it will first look to
see if Ft.Xml.Xslt.Processor is available, and if not, then try
xml.pyxslt.Processor.  Or, any other of the xslt processors that people
are proposing.

This means a common (or close to common) set of interfaces on Xslt
parsers but that shouldn't be too hard to come up with.
