As mentioned in my answer to Elliotte Rusty Harold, I think that if you
want to do the conversion in the general case, the main issue isn't with
parsing the CSS syntax but with interpreting the CSS selectors which
features set is not very XPath/XSLT friendly.
The syntax by itself should be easily parseable with XSLT 2.0 reg exps.
In XSLT 1.0, it would be more verbose, but could be a nice opportunity
to use the Dimitre Novatchev's FXSL library...
