Somewhat related to this.

The lack of a pure ruby XSLT engine is on occasions annoying, because then =
I
find myself descending to the nether regions of java, PHP and friends :-)

I was thinking about the viability of an XSLT doc A that matchs
against arbitrary XSLT B and emits ruby code that effectivly performs the
same transformation as the original XSLT document B.

Eventually the XSLT A would be able to 'self compile' to some ruby code tha=
t
would replace it. Ie read some XSLT and emit functionally equivilent ruby
code.

Does this sound like a sensible approach to getting 'pure ruby'  XSLT
functionality?
