I think Stefan is working on moving xalan to main. I'll be working on
gnujaxp to integrate transformations so gjdoc will be able to use
gnujaxp as an alternative to transform javadoc from xml to html.
I'll try to do this this week but I'm not sure I'll have the time.

Many thanks for your interest,
