  You're using libxml2/libxslt in that context, better as for help
in the right channel 
     http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/bugs.html

  the parameter to the transformation are passed as a dictionnary
to applyStylesheet(), instead of passing None, pass the dictionary
containing the (name, value) pairs for all parameters.
