Right.
Pretty sure this goes back to *our* XML support requiring both. As in you couldn't turn on/off xslt independently, so the "xml requires xslt" comment is that *our* xml support required both.
This may definitely not be true anymore, and that check has just not been updated.
Also this was 10 years ago, so I'm of course not 100% sure, but I think it was something like that...
