I am not sure why you think this. Jade does not implement the
transformation language, of course; but more importantly it goes
nowhere for complex page models. I was not aware that anyone was
considering that. in its present state, it severely limits the
usefulness of Jade for serious typesetting. If all you want it for is
(SG|X)ML to HTML transformation, might as well go with the crowd and
use XSLT ("excess, light", as it might be aptly named)
