+coming from a given source are using the same namespace name defining in
+practice a group of extensions providing elements, functions or both. From
+the libxslt point of view those are considered as an "extension module", and
+most of the APIs work at a module point of view.</p><p>Registration of new functions or elements are bound to the activation of
+the module. This is currently done by declaring the namespace as an extension
+by using the attribute <code>extension-element-prefixes</code> on the
+<code><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt">xsl:stylesheet</a></code>

- <li>the stylesheet obtained at 2/ can be reused by multiple processing

- byfreeing the stylesheet.</li>
- <li>the input tree 4/ is not modified except the _private field which maybe
- used for labelling keys if used by the stylesheet</li>
-</ul><h3><a name="XSLT1" id="XSLT1">The XSLT stylesheet compilation</a></h3><p>This is the second step described. It takes a stylesheet tree,
-and"compiles" it. This associates to each node a structure stored in
-the_private field and containing information computed in the stylesheet:</p><p align="center"><img src="stylesheet.gif" alt="a compiled XSLT stylesheet" /></p><p>One xsltStylesheet structure is generated per document parsed for
-thestylesheet. XSLT documents allow includes and imports of other
-documents,imports are stored in the <strong>imports</strong>list (hence
-keeping thetree hierarchy of includes which is very important for a proper
-XSLTprocessing model) and includes are stored in the
-<strong>doclist</strong>list. An imported stylesheet has a parent link to
-allow browsing of thetree.</p><p>The DOM tree associated to the document is stored in
-<strong>doc</strong>.It is preprocessed to remove ignorable empty nodes and
-all the nodes in theXSLT namespace are subject to precomputing. This usually
-consist ofextracting all the context information from the context tree
-(attributes,namespaces, XPath expressions), and storing them in an
-xsltStylePreCompstructure associated to the <strong>_private</strong>field of
-the node.</p><p>A couple of notable exceptions to this are XSLT template nodes (more
-onthis later) and attribute value templates. If they are actually
-templates,the value cannot be computed at compilation time. (Some
-preprocessing couldbe done like isolation and preparsing of the XPath
-subexpressions but it'snot done, yet.)</p><p>The xsltStylePreComp structure also allows storing of the precompiled
-formof an XPath expression that can be associated to an XSLT element (more
-onthis later).</p><h3><a name="XSLT2" id="XSLT2">The XSLT template compilation</a></h3><p>A proper handling of templates lookup is one of the keys of fast
-XSLTprocessing. (Given a node in the source document this is the process
-offinding which templates should be applied to this node.) Libxslt follows
-thehint suggested in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#patterns">5.2Patterns</a>section of the XSLT
-Recommendation, i.e. it doesn't evaluate itas an XPath expression but
-tokenizes it and compiles it as a set of rules tobe evaluated on a candidate
-node. There usually is an indication of the nodename in the last step of this
-evaluation and this is used as a key check forthe match. As a result libxslt
-builds a relatively more complex set ofstructures for the templates:</p><p align="center"><img src="templates.gif" alt="The templates related structure" /></p><p>Let's describe a bit more closely what is built. First the
-xsltStylesheetstructure holds a pointer to the template hash table. All the
-XSLT patternscompiled in this stylesheet are indexed by the value of the the
-targetelement (or attribute, pi ...) name, so when a element or an attribute
-"foo"needs to be processed the lookup is done using the name as a key.</p><p>Each of the patterns is compiled into an xsltCompMatch structure. It
-holdsthe set of rules based on the tokenization of the pattern stored in
-reverseorder (matching is easier this way). It also holds some information
-about theprevious matches used to speed up the process when one iterates over
-a set ofsiblings. (This optimization may be defeated by trashing when
-runningthreaded computation, it's unclear that this is a big deal in
-practice.)Predicate expressions are not compiled at this stage, they may be
-at run-timeif needed, but in this case they are compiled as full XPath
-expressions (theuse of some fixed predicate can probably be optimized, they
-are not yet).</p><p>The xsltCompMatch are then stored in the hash table, the clash list
-isitself sorted by priority of the template to implement "naturally" the
-XSLTpriority rules.</p><p>Associated to the compiled pattern is the xsltTemplate itself
-containingthe information required for the processing of the pattern
-including, ofcourse, a pointer to the list of elements used for building the
-patternresult.</p><p>Last but not least a number of patterns do not fit in the hash
-tablebecause they are not associated to a name, this is the case for

+ freeing the stylesheet.</li>
+ <li>the input tree 4/ is not modified except the _private field which may
+ be used for labelling keys if used by the stylesheet</li>
+</ul><h3><a name="XSLT1" id="XSLT1">The XSLT stylesheet compilation</a></h3><p>This is the second step described. It takes a stylesheet tree, and
+"compiles" it. This associates to each node a structure stored in the
+_private field and containing information computed in the stylesheet:</p><p align="center"><img src="stylesheet.gif" alt="a compiled XSLT stylesheet" /></p><p>One xsltStylesheet structure is generated per document parsed for the
+stylesheet. XSLT documents allow includes and imports of other documents,
+imports are stored in the <strong>imports</strong> list (hence keeping the
+tree hierarchy of includes which is very important for a proper XSLT
+processing model) and includes are stored in the <strong>doclist</strong>
+list. An imported stylesheet has a parent link to allow browsing of the
+tree.</p><p>The DOM tree associated to the document is stored in <strong>doc</strong>.
+It is preprocessed to remove ignorable empty nodes and all the nodes in the
+XSLT namespace are subject to precomputing. This usually consist of
+extracting all the context information from the context tree (attributes,
+namespaces, XPath expressions), and storing them in an xsltStylePreComp
+structure associated to the <strong>_private</strong> field of the node.</p><p>A couple of notable exceptions to this are XSLT template nodes (more on
+this later) and attribute value templates. If they are actually templates,
+the value cannot be computed at compilation time. (Some preprocessing could
+be done like isolation and preparsing of the XPath subexpressions but it's
+not done, yet.)</p><p>The xsltStylePreComp structure also allows storing of the precompiled form
+of an XPath expression that can be associated to an XSLT element (more on
+this later).</p><h3><a name="XSLT2" id="XSLT2">The XSLT template compilation</a></h3><p>A proper handling of templates lookup is one of the keys of fast XSLT
+processing. (Given a node in the source document this is the process of
+finding which templates should be applied to this node.) Libxslt follows the
+hint suggested in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#patterns">5.2
+Patterns</a> section of the XSLT Recommendation, i.e. it doesn't evaluate it
+as an XPath expression but tokenizes it and compiles it as a set of rules to
+be evaluated on a candidate node. There usually is an indication of the node
+name in the last step of this evaluation and this is used as a key check for
+the match. As a result libxslt builds a relatively more complex set of
+structures for the templates:</p><p align="center"><img src="templates.gif" alt="The templates related structure" /></p><p>Let's describe a bit more closely what is built. First the xsltStylesheet
+structure holds a pointer to the template hash table. All the XSLT patterns
+compiled in this stylesheet are indexed by the value of the the target
+element (or attribute, pi ...) name, so when a element or an attribute "foo"
+needs to be processed the lookup is done using the name as a key.</p><p>Each of the patterns is compiled into an xsltCompMatch structure. It holds
+the set of rules based on the tokenization of the pattern stored in reverse
+order (matching is easier this way). It also holds some information about the
+previous matches used to speed up the process when one iterates over a set of
+siblings. (This optimization may be defeated by trashing when running
+threaded computation, it's unclear that this is a big deal in practice.)
+Predicate expressions are not compiled at this stage, they may be at run-time
+if needed, but in this case they are compiled as full XPath expressions (the
+use of some fixed predicate can probably be optimized, they are not yet).</p><p>The xsltCompMatch are then stored in the hash table, the clash list is
+itself sorted by priority of the template to implement "naturally" the XSLT
+priority rules.</p><p>Associated to the compiled pattern is the xsltTemplate itself containing
+the information required for the processing of the pattern including, of
+course, a pointer to the list of elements used for building the pattern
+result.</p><p>Last but not least a number of patterns do not fit in the hash table
+because they are not associated to a name, this is the case for patterns
+applying to the root, any element, any attributes, text nodes, pi nodes, keys
+etc. Those are stored independently in the stylesheet structure as separate
+linked lists of xsltCompMatch.</p><h3><a name="processing" id="processing">The processing itself</a></h3><p>The processing is defined by the XSLT specification (the basis of the
+algorithm is explained in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Introduction">the Introduction</a>

+ <li>If there is no template, apply the default rule (recurse on the
+ children)</li>
<li>else walk the content list of the selected templates, for each of them:
- <ul><li>if the node is in the XSLT namespace then the node has a
- _privatefield pointing to the preprocessed values, jump to the

+ <li>Otherwise use the <a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/python/">libxml2-python

<li>Libxslt is a C implementation</li>
- <li>Libxslt is based on libxml for XML parsing, tree manipulation and
