Good idea!  This would get me back to XSL.
I started with XSL (the former 24 pages spec), because it was
declarative and simple.  I stopped it, because it focused in a
shortsighted way to formatting only (and thus the tools do so too).

This new approach can draw the line between data transformation
(general) and formatting (one special backend feeding the HTML and
RTF processors).
