I tested it.

I'm quite ignorant about "KDE using libxslt for their next release".
Perharps indirectly, through Scrollkeepr. Perharps for the upcoming
DocBook browser, I don't know. Coolo?

I only know that Coolo (at KDE) has recently set up a system named "poxml"
which allows us to translate docs using the xgettext/msgmerge mechanism
(po files used as a translation memory). This system is meant to allow
easiest updates of DocBook documentation translations. This system
is based, if I remember correctly, on libxml, which is the basement
for libxslt.

I plan to package xalan/xerces as part of the docbook-tools project.
You don't need java, excepted for printed output (though FOP).
Jade is also fine, but it isn't XSL style sheets but DSSSL ones.

The DocBook browser is our new help system.

You mixed that up completly. poxml is not based on libxml, but our new help
system is and it uses libxslt for rendering docbook online without any other
tool. And this also means, we're using XSL stylesheets now and no DSSL 
anymore.

Greetings, Stephan
