Description

The current XSLT transformer is based on lxml and thus only supports XSLT 1.0.

A new transformer could be added, based for example on SaxonJS, that could handle 2.0 and 3.0 as well.

Research direction

The issue identifies the current lxml-based XSLT transformer and suggests SaxonJS as a possible basis for a new transformer, but it names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing transformer and its integration points, then investigate how SaxonJS could provide XSLT 2.0 and 3.0 support. Done means the project can handle those versions without losing existing XSLT 1.0 support.
