To clarify - I don't know whether XSLT is the right tool for the job or
not - I think there may be limitations on what can be expressed in XSLT;
there have been other attempts at XML-transformation languages, maybe
there's a library out there that we could incorporate. Suggestions
definitely welcome ...
