Yeah, implementing an XSLT compiler looks like being a rainy Sunday job.
It's still not in Mono because it didn't rain the last months :)

This is a ridiculous claim. There is semantically no difference
between both methods. Implementing one with the help of the

first, optimize later" strategy. Throwing NIE in this case is
just counterproductive.
