ANN: 4XSLT 0.7.1

FourThought LLC (http://FourThought.com) announces the release of

                             4XSLT 0.7.1
                      -----------------------
                      A python implementation
                    of the W3C's XSLT language


4XSLT is an XML transformation processor based on the W3C's
specification for the XSLT transform language.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt

Currently, 4XSLT supports a sub-set of the August 13th working draft of
XSLT including the following:

Full expression support and attribute-value template expansion
xsl:include   xsl:import
xsl:template   xsl:apply-imports
xsl:apply-templates  xsl:if
xsl:for-each   xsl:choose
xsl:element   xsl:when
xsl:attribute   xsl:otherwise
xsl:text   xsl:message
xsl:value-of   xsl:variable
xsl:processing-instruction xsl:key
xsl:preserve-space  xsl:copy-of
xsl:strip-space
and literal elements and text

4XSLT produces its result tree by throwing standard SAX events to a
document handler, so it can be easily modified to supply results to
any SAX consumer.
