iirc, chris suggested a Perl XSLT engine when we had to choose our tools 
for 2.0.0 He thought it was a "heavy idea", so was not very enthousiastic.
I tried to install the tool, but never succeded.
The conclusion was :
- it's a complex solution for developpers
- it's a nightmare solution for users
=> it's not our solution
