populating template from a dom object

Hi,
I'm new to Cheetah. I was wondering if it's possible to populate a set of Cheetah templates from a document object model.
For example, I have a DocBook XML file that I can read and parse into a tree using lxml; is there a way I can apply a set of Cheetah templates to render that object into HTML?

I know about the DocBook XSLT stylesheets, I was just wondering if the Cheetah template method is feasible.

thanks,
--Tim
