I know that Sablotron has not been feature complete with respect to the 
XSLT 1.0 specification, but they have been catching up.

As Emmanuel pointed out, Sablotron does not support the standard set of 
interfaces other XSLT processors have moved to. There's a very short 
article at XML.com pitching Sablotron's differences http://www.xml.com/pub/
a/2002/03/13/sablotron.html. My impression is that they aren't using SAX, 
but are promoting a different callback model that appears to work on XPath 
requests into the DOM Sablotron creates.

In any case, some sort of XSLT processor would be a boon, and would save 
many of us from the hell of writing outline and table rendering scripts.
