The only thing which would effect current code is Sigurd's XSLT template
patch.  As I have already explained (but you dropped from the message)
the rest of the code will not be used by any existing API code.

I don't support this as this is time consuming and it means that HEAD
needs to be reversioned again.  The changes I propose help us get closer
to a stable head, where as your proposal moves us further away from it.

They can add it to HEAD then.  I am currently working in HEAD, but am
getting sick of adding the same libs over and over again to apps in
HEAD.  18 will be based off head not 14 (which 16 is based off).
