I believe it is possible to make them work together. But using these 
extensions requires using Saxon as the XSLT processor, which is 
Java-based and slower than xsltproc. Even if we end up using Java for 
PDF rendering, it would be better to keep the XHTML build fast and 
Java-free so that committers can easily test their work.
