[PATCH] Fix GPS import from divinglog

[Linus Torvalds]

I'm not convinced xslt is any better. The language is so unreadable as to
result in it being unmaintainable. I actually tried to write a stupid
script to add ask the crazy XML syntax on top of something more readable,
but I gave up.

So the whole notion of having xml transformations for foreign formats is a
nice idea, but it is destroyed my the horrible mess that is xslt.
