Support for ALTO 3.0, 4.0 etc. in alto2hocr

[zuphilip]

Can we also support ALTO 3.0, 4.0 etc. in the transformation alto2hocr? I am not speaking about any new functionalities but just the new namespaces. The transformation alto2text is using a different syntax e.g.

<xsl:template match="*[local-name()='TextLine']">

instead of

<xsl:template match="TextLine">

and thereby is already compatible with other versions of the ALTO namespace. Maybe we can do something similar for the alto2hocr transformation.

Yes, but unfortunately I do not have time right now... I will try to look at it by the end of this month.

The commit you mentioned added a new hocr2alto3.0.xsl, but the other direction which I asked here, i.e. that alto2hocr also supports alto v3.0, 4.0 etc, is still not possible. Therefore, I wanted to ask, if we can reopen this issue.
