A XSLT export. It can contain more than one xslt script.
The xslt export is displayed as one export type. For each script contained in the export an own file is created.

• name - Name for this export shown in the export wizard
• description - This description is shown in the Title Area of the export wizard dialog, when this export is selected.
• icon - Icon for this export shown in the export wizard
• extension - A comma seperated list of file extensions that is suggested for the output file.
• types - The type of this xslt export (i.e. html)
• modelselection - Set this attribute true, if the user should get a model selection pane;
  This makes only sense for variant description models, where the user then may cut the set of used input models for the vdm.
• restriction - A comma seperated list of model types;
  This list cuts the incoming list of input models such that only the models matching the types in this type list are used
  as input for the export; En empty list allows all model types.
