Yep. Go back and download Saxon 6.5.2
7 is for XSLT 2.0. Website is for XSLT 1.0

Another jar file needed. Its in the 'extensions' directory of wherever
you loaded website (\website23\extensions\saxon64.jar ?)

You also need some source document?

E.g. java (path stuff) -o outputFile sourceXMLdocument, stylesheet

Except..... Oh dear.

The first stage is to define your website, with a documentation 
not dissimilar to layout.xml in the example file.

That produces a file not unlike autolayout.xml .....
  which is then processed (totally seperately) using the main stylesheets?
 e.g. chunk-website.xsl (in the xsl directory).

That actually gets you some output....


OK OK, it is the best kept secret.
  Its just that, well maybe I could explain it by...
   We just think that...
 Oh shugar. Its not straightforward <chuckles/> OK>

Keep asking.
