Look at similar ideas such as XSLScript > http://www.pault.com/XSLScript/ (Come back, Paul T, we miss you, all > is forgiven! ) This has been done: apart from Paul's efforts, there is also Ed Willink's NiceXSL at http://nicexsl.sourceforge.net/ The fact that there have only been three downloads in the last week gives some clue as to the level of demand for such a beast. But by all means try it, especially if you are one of those people who have never used XSLT because you decided the surface syntax was too ugly. Yes, I freely admit that such people exist.
