You can usually subscribe by following the instructions at the public
mailing list page: http://openmath.org/mailman/listinfo/om

But as an exception I've added you manually.

It seems to work fine in Saxon 9 (although Saxon is actually written for
XSLT 2.0).

More information about the free version of Saxon can be found at
http://saxon.sourceforge.net 

There exist two versions of Saxon. A basic version (Saxon-B) that is
available under the Mozilla public license and a commercial non-free
version that is Schema Aware (Saxon-SA).

For your project the basic version will probably be more than enough.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask me, or the list.
