  I chose basic filtering because I think the algorithm for
  extended filtering is tricky (but not impossible) to do in
  XSLT 1.0, at least without EXSLT. Basic filtering is easy.
  If anybody feels strongly that we should use extended
  filtering, speak up. I'm not really opposed.

I can implement the extended filtering algorithm easily in
Python for itstool. I was just trying to keep things easy
for others. I'd like input from other implementers.
