that is very interesting idea ! XSLT could be also used to get test results
nicely converted into HTML output...

if you want to give it a try please do it and we will make then sure
that schema for XML is defined in such way to make job of writing
XSLT as easy as possible!

i am not very good in XSLT but i think that it is possible to call
java code directly from XSLT?

i will work on it during weekend and  i will post a preliminary
and simple XML schema for tests and java driver to execute them.
