A colleague of mine is working on a pure scheme grove engine.  An
early rought which convers much of the SGML property set can be found
at <URL:http://www.red-bean.com/~craig/grover/>.

At this point he claims that it constructs groves as quickly or more
quickly than jade in a only semi-optimized context.  Using agressive
optimization such as stalin (precompiling it to C) it should
outperform jade.

Atop a general grove engine you could slap on DSSSL, or whatever you
like.  I think it's a cool context.
