Can't remember, unfortunately, but likely to remove dependencies. Also, IIRC
sxml-transforms came later. As Dan Muresan already pointed out,
sxml->html is even inappropriately named.

I have uploaded a new version of spifffy (2.39) that does it the way
sxml-transforms do it (thanks, Zbigniew, for the suggestion, BTW).
I also renamed "sxml->html" to "write-sxml" (but kept the old name
for backwards compatibility).

Peter (Wright): could you try the currently available spiffy?
