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.
