You are right of course. I took over the maintenance of XML::XSLT late last year because I had a need for a pure Perl XSLT processor - I hope that I have fixed the more egregious bugs, however I would guess that full XSLT compliance is quite a long way away unless someone with plentiful spare time happens upon the project :)

In the short term I would recommend that you use XML::LibXSLT if you can build it in your platorm :)
