One way to integrate this on the high level would be to create a
plugin that has three file properties:
- input file
- xslt file
- output file
That way, any XML transformation can be incorporated into the pipeline.

On the practical side, the problem is poor XSLT 2.0 support here.
Saxonb, which is a Java program, seems to be the only viable
implementation. This can of course still be called as an external
program, but it seems a bit messy to me, although almost everyone
should have java, so the Saxonb jar would not be much overhead.
