for the latter, use "-" as the file name for whichever between xml or
xsl you want to get from stdin.

That makes sense ;)

Yes, too much tolerance over mistakes might be the reason why older versions
would bring you what you think would be the good result while the specs
don't really want it to happen.

Anyway, I'd be curious to see exactly what's beeing occured. Would you
mind sending me all necessary files to "simulate" the pipeline through
xsltproc ?
