[kepler-users] XSLT Actor xml input

[Matt Jones]

Dan Crawl seems to have checked in some fixes to the Kepler XSLT actor
that allow it to accept XMLToken as input and no longer writes the
temp files to disk.  Does this meet your needs, Chris?  For now you
can only access these changes from the development build, but it will
be released with the next Kepler release.
