Actually his idea's scope was broader: a CTAN-like site for XSLT stylesheets, XQuery modules, XProc pipelines, etc. and CXAN was the most obvious name we found for such a site ;-) As part of the EXPath project, I am working on a packaging system for XSLT and XQuery, which I would like to extend to XProc. I've released intermediary results (for eXist and Saxon) on the EXPath website [1] (see also [2], [3] and [4] for more details on resp. the packaging system, the prototype for eXist and the prototype for Saxon.) The idea would be to use such packages as the building block of CXAN (like Debian's APT system builds upon *.deb packages.)
