[development] XML transformations using XSL

[Dan Robinson]

my $.02,

I used XSLT for a project like this a couple years ago.  It is designed
for this kind of thing and is very cool.  However it is likely (as
others point out) that there are a lot of features you don't need and
furthermore XSLT is (IMO) one of those "wacky" tools that just seems to
want to do everything "sideways" - the learning curve is pretty stiff.
