It is a bit of a thing to wrap your head around, and XSLT is certainly not
the most friendly example of a functional language, but once you do get a
grip on it its kind of elegant. Really I think mostly I'd like a non-xml
syntax to use, that would make it a lot more fun. The other thing is XSLT2
is a LOT nicer, but unfortunately probably will never have an
implementation with perl bindings.
