Leonard is the person who knows the system and can evaluate the  
decision.  It would be easiest for him.

For other people, since we already essentially have his blessing, it  
is probably just a matter of moving the xslt into Launchpad and  
changing the Makefile to use it; and changing launchpadlib's trunk to  
no longer have it (I don't think a release just for this change is  
necessary).

He is out today.  Karl, I suggest creating a bug for Launchpad  
Foundations or being a jfdi-knight.  I'll be happy to review your  
branches.
