I'm going to have to disagree here - I've done a reasonable amount of
XSLT work, and this is exactly the sort of thing it's designed to do.
In terms of effort and length of the resulting code, what you lose in
verbose syntax (although it's nowhere near as bad as some make out),
you gain in not having to handle input/output/parsing/busy-work that
would need to be done "manually" in Ruby.
