There are a number of tools around that attempt to construct a
transformation from knowledge of the source and target schemas. It can
only be done in fairly trivial cases, in my view.
After all, an example of your problem is: my source file is some
arbitrary piece of XML, my target schema is XHTML, can the
transformation be done automatically? Answer: yes, so long as you want a
trivial rendition of the XML document.
