i was
  just intrigued by the problems that people were trying to solve with
  XSLT that seemed to be *really* pushing the bounds of what XSLT
  seemed to have been designed for, that's all.

Any problem for which an answer can be posted in a reasonably sized
email message is hardly pushing the bounds is it? Anything in that range
is "healthy use in unexpected areas" rather than using an "inappropriate
hammer".
