	Riight; interesting. Ultimately XSLT requires a DOM to operate on, so I
suppose if we get SAX events from OO.o, we will need to map these to
libxml's nodes.

	I believe we already have code to do this in
xmlsecurity/source/xmlsec/saxhelper.cxx / .hxx - which essentially uses
libxmlsec (built on libxml2) to do document signing as of now [ AFAIR
etc. ].

	Perhaps we can re-use some nice chunks of code from there ?

	ATB,

		Michael.
