An <code>XsltCompiler</code> object allows XSLT 2.0 stylesheets to be compiled.
The compiler holds information that represents the static context
for the compilation.
</p>
<p>To construct an <code>XsltCompiler</code>, use the factory method
<code>NewXsltCompiler</code> on the <code>Processor</code> object.
</p>
<p>An <code>XsltCompiler</code> may be used repeatedly to compile multiple
queries. Any changes made to the <code>XsltCompiler</code> (that is, to the
static context) do not affect queries that have already been compiled.
An <code>XsltCompiler</code> may be used concurrently in multiple threads, but
it should not then be modified once initialized.
