/**
 * Provides the tools for doing the conversion of StarWriter XML to and from
 * supported formats, through the use of an XSLT transformation.
 *
 * <p>It follows the {@code org.openoffice.xmerge} framework for the conversion
 * process.</p>
 *
 * <p>This converter does not currently support merge.</p>
 *
 * <h2>XSLT Transformation</h2>
 *
 * <p>The converter makes use of one or more XSLT style sheets, which are used
 * in the DocumentSerializer and DocumentDeserializer, to perform the actual
 * translations. The location of these stylesheets is extracted from the
 * {@link org.openoffice.xmerge.util.registry.ConverterInfo ConverterInfo} data
 * structure, and are specified using the optional converter-XSLT-serialize and
 * converter-XSLT-deserialize tags in a plug-ins converter.xml file. Please
 * refer to the SDK document for more information about how to implement a
 * Plug-in Configuration XML File for a specific plug-in.
 * A sample OpenOffice to HTML stylesheet and HTML to OpenOffice stylesheet, has
 * been provided as a sample implementation. The converter also makes use of an
 * XsltPlugin.properties file, which may be edited by the user to provide
 * MIME-TYPE to file extension mappings. This file is used by the
 * {@link org.openoffice.xmerge.converter.xml.xslt.PluginFactoryImpl
 * getDeviceFileExtension} method.</p>
 *
 * <h2>TODO list</h2>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>Expand XSLT style sheets to support more office/HTML capabilities</li>
 * <li>Add support for certain character codes, such as {@literal &} which
 *     currently causes the transformer to break.</li>
 * <li>Change the DocumentDeserializer transformer, so that the DOMResult is
 *     serialized using the xalan serializer and create an SxwDocument from the
 *     result</li>
 * </ol>
