[Mono-dev] Patch: XSLT thread safety

[Atsushi Eno]

msxsl:script cannot be thread safe on transform operations as script
writers could write any thread-unsafe operations. If MSDN says it
is thread safe for transformation, then that is wrong. If it were
correct, it requires whatever no one can achieve.
