Ehm, why would you want to use the obsolete wd-language? Just code against
the correct objects using MSXML3 and the correct namespace in your
stylesheets and you're all set... Sure you have to limit yourself to msxml3
but at least it supports the full xslt spec and msxml4 improvements aren't
that big a deal anyways
