So did IADS, EBT's browser, and so on. 
The hang-up was DSSSL.   The SGML part 
worked just fine.   XML can too.  This 
is really a market issue.  Consider that 
there is only one viable browser now 
for commercial applications.  If you wanted 
to compete, you'd need to do something 
that improved that framework.  Removing 
the bolted in HTML support would be one 
way to start.

It isn't heresy; that's a marketing problem. 
It's a matter of functionality.  When would 
you not want to downtranslate and why?
