I'd agree with Miklos.  It's true that git blame is less useful then,
but we are doing large cleanups all over the place anyway, so I don't
think a larger diff is a huge problem.

But about the filter in general - please, what are the features that
the xhtml export filter can do that our 'normal' html filter cannot?

I wonder, rather than debugging / writing xslt, wouldn't it be better
to extend our html export so that it can generate xhtml if asked to (we
already fulfill many of the requirements there anyway - seems to me),
and kill the xslt filter? ;-)

All the best,
Kendy
