Heh, that's what Groveware's product does, using Java and DSSSL.

Ken's solution is less than 1% of the size of the Groveware DSSSL, but
we had a full user interface and generated table cells that spanned rows
for events lasting more than an hour (or whatever).

In the end, we found that DSSSL didn't really scale up -- it got too
hard to mantain.  I'm not surehow XSL will faer here, but probably it's
important to use some external mechanism to keep things modular.
