After some sys.text.Encoding bugfixes, I wanted to have a break ;-)

Am not sure what kind of transformations are actually wanted, so
am putting as its initial draft. The output is like:
http://monkey.workarea.jp/trans/mono/index.php/TestMonodocToMediaWiki

My basic thought is, however, it hardly makes sense to write
conversion stuff in XSLT (the stylesheet already became complicated
enough, as compared to its purpose). Sys.xml tools would be much
more useful.

At least, we can't use XSLT for conversion from Wiki to ECMA.
Things like scripting language would be helpful.

(I also think that some kind of editor UI which is well-tailored for
monodoc would be better.)
