That's true, but I think that it will only take a small proprietary extension to make XML->XML transformations quite doable. I base this on my belief that any industrial-strength style language is going to be sufficiently powerful to do any transformation that a person could need. All you need is a set of flow objects for each of the XML constructs. I think that Jade demonstrates this fact quite well. In other words, if you already know XSL, I don't think it will make sense to go out and learn Java/SAXON or C/LTXML just because what you want to do is not within the XSL specification. They are just as "non-standard" as an XSL-ish transformation language will be.
