The other side of it, IMO, is that the processor needs to read and write libXML2-compatible trees so all the code that (for anything more than file-file transformation) currently produces the inputs and consumes the output from libXSLT (or from a language binding to libXSLT) can 'just work' until such time as code can be rewritten to use any superior 'native' interface of the processor.
