I am sorry I have missed this and I wish XSLT could be used to do this
;=).

I have no problem with this picture as long as:

a) the mechanism that is used doesn't add constraints to the structures
I can define and allows me to describe the data types I need.

or

b) The system is kept open and I have alternative choices to do so.

In other words, I find it very difficult to admit that a specification
can restrict the scope of possibilities opened by XML.
