As regards xalan C++ I do not have good experiences (mostly core dumps).
I also do not like their code and build process.

Libxml is fast, and IMHO more maintainable.

So far I find saxon most valuable tool for me, as far as java processors are concerned.

And IMO that's good. Catalogs were supposed to be useful solution, but managing
them is really a pain and source of problems.

I agree, all we need is set of standarized path names :)

Where can I find docbook-utils primary site (CVS repo)?
