AIUI, XSL is quite powerful and can do some pretty invasive things on
a system, right? It is absolutely wrong to import code, untested and
unchecked, from the Internet and run it on a users machine without
asking them or even telling them. You can't trust code of the network.

This behavior is *extremely* inconvenient for people working offline
and dangerous for people working online. This package can have the
correct dependencies so that it just works.
