Summary: Improve XML output

Initial Comment:
At the moment, there's very little in the xml report to work with. I've 3 
things I wish were in there. 

1.It would be nice if there was specific class and package information for each 
file.

2.A timestamp for the report would be useful, to allow reports to be dated 
correctly.

3.Also if the the individual errors had more meaningful categories instead of 
the current "source" attribute. i.e., replace something like:
source="com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.blocks.LeftCurlyCheck"
with ruleset="blocks" rule="leftcurlycheck"

Would also be very useful to include the name of the rules file that was
applied - either as a comment, or an XML element.

Further XSL samples would be helpful too, for formatting colours based on
severity, for instance.

I should have been a bit more specific about 1) above.
By specific class and package information, I mean replacing this:
<file name="C:\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd\eee.java"/>
with 
<file name="C:\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd\eee.java" class="eee"
package="aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd"/>
