of XSLT programming and in your use case #3, it is the "pull" style.

Yes, that was the term I was searching for.

And, if I read you correctly, your uneasiness with this style is that
the tools are generating monlithic code. However, even in the pull
style, XSLT will allow a modular programming style by the use of
call-template . The fact that you dont get modular code is a problem
with the tools.

Yes, that's the problem with those tools. But since I'm thinking of writing such a tool (which should make it better) I first have to understand the problem with the existing ones! :)
