An immediate problem is that the patched stuff no longer works with
older stylesheets (1.76.1?).  I'm glad to leave older stuff behind for a
400% speedup, but we need to analyze the exact effect and possibly
document it or work around it.

It looks like the idea there is to whack the XSLT stylesheets until the
output looks exactly like the DSSSL output?  I'm not sure that's
terribly useful.  It would probably be a lot of work, which we'll just
end up removing eventually.  I'd rather just fix any formatting issues
we find and move forward.
