just wondering;  how would someone who downloads firefox source then
compile .... u can't expect people to depend on a pre-compiled binary,
on the other hand I can't see mozilla follks wanting to add an Eiffel
compile step as a dependency. making apologies now for my Eiffel
ignorance ;)

and to make my question a bit more XSLT related .... do u have any
formal XSLT performance benchmarks for gestalt ?
